Applesauce

I love fall, with it comes so many beautiful changes to the land.  Unfortunately, with some of the good changes, comes weather so awful that all you want to do is stay inside and make fudge.  BUT, if you make the fudge, you will more than likely be the one EATING the fudge, and that's no good for the diet.  Well, here's a recipe for comfort food that you won't feel QUITE as guilty after eating.  :)

Plus it makes your whole house smell like cinnamon.  Ahhhh.

• 4 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon.  Cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until apples are soft.  Allow to cool, then mash with fork or potato masher.

OR...use your crock pot (I doubled the recipe and used my crock)

1. Place apples, water, sugar and cinnamon in crock pot and cook on hi for about 4 hours.  No need to mash.  Serve warm or cool and serve.
