Homemade Applesauce

During our unit on apples (Johnny Appleseed and Apples to Oregon text talk), we made our own homemade applesauce in class!

It was so much fun, and it was also super simple (which is good since Mrs. Cockrell is challenged in the area of culinary arts)!

Just peel and slice about 10-15 apples (lots of Granny Smiths to make it sweeter), and add them to a crock pot.  Then add the other ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.  You'll know when it's ready--nice and soft, and yummy smelling!  :D

Here are a few pictures of our fun:
