Applesauce Recipe

Peel and core 8-10 apples.  Cut into small pieces.
Place apples in crock pot.  Sprinkle with 1t cinnamon, 1/2c white sugar, 1/2c brown sugar; mix.
Add 1 c water.  Cook on high for 3-4 hours.  Turn the crock pot to off and allow apples to stew for an hour. 
(I propped the lid a bit, to let the apples cool.)  With a fork, gently mash the apples.  The applesauce will be chunky.

The children enjoyed this experiment in cooking!  Many of them returned to the table for seconds and thirds.  As a bonus, the room smelled divine!  Yummy :-)
Everyone examined the apples before they began to cook.

We all took turns in the stirring and mashing of the apples.
