Instructions
Wash, peel, and core your apples. Slice or chunk the apples up, either way will work as long as the pieces are relatively uniform in size. *Peeling is optional!
Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, water, and lemon juice plus the optional lemon zest to your crock pot.
Place the lid on your crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
When the time is up use a wire whisk and stir to desired consistency. (Or for ultra smooth applesauce use an immersion blender.)
Serve warm if desired or allow to cool and refrigerate for up to 10 days. Or freeze for later!
