Low Fat Crockpot Applesauce With Cranberries Recipe

Ingredients

10 12 medium apples

1 To 2 cups cranberry juice

1/2 Lemon -- juiced

2 tablespoons Sugar -- or up to 1/4cup if

You want it sweet

1/4 to 1/2 cup dried cranberries -- "craisins"

Method

Wash the apples and chop them up without peeling.

Squeeze lemon juice over them as you cut them.

Put apples in crockpot with cranberry juice -- use 1 cup if you want the applesauce thick, more if you want it thin.

Stir in sugar to suit your taste.

Let apples stew on Low for 6-8 hours.

About an hour or two before serving, stir in cranberries or craisins.

(All I found at my store was craisins--since they're sweetened, I used less sugar.)

The applesauce is a very pretty pink and the cranberries & juice give it a nice zing.

As you can see, the recipe is simple and forgiving -- let the apples stew a little longer or a little less ~- the longer you stew them the mushier the applesauce will be.

It warms up nicely, or you can eat it cold.
