Title: Crockpot Applesauce with Cranberries
Categories: Lowfat Fruit
Yield: 4 Servings

10	md	Apples
1	c	Cranberry juice
		Lemon juice -- use 1/4 to
1/2		Lemon
2	tb	Sugar
1/4	c	Dried cranberries or
		"craisins"

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. Date: 07 Dec 94 09:57:00 CST From:
