We still had about 3 pounds of early transparent apples leftover from my grandpa’s orchard so I made some of my grandma’s homemade applesauce.

Ingredients:
3 pounds of apples cored but not peeled
4 cinnamon sticks
The juice of one lemon

1. Chop cored apples

2. Place cored apples in crock-pot, add the juice of one lemon and the cinnamon sticks.

3. Turn crock-pot on high 2-4 hours, stir occasionally.

4. Remove apple sticks before serving

Yields about 4 cups of applesauce! You will love the smell that permeates throughout the entire house.
