We returned from our Thanksgiving holiday with a peck of Melrose apples in tow (fun fact: Melrose are the official Ohio state apple). Though we easily could have eaten them all in a few days, I wanted to make something special with them. Their fruity aroma and excellent baking properties led me to decide on homemade chunky applesauce.
It's really simple, all you do is peel and core the apples, chop into chunks, place the apples in a crockpot set to Low, add 2 cups of water, then cover and cook for 6-8 hours. Every once in a while I would get up and crush some of the apples with a potato masher, or stir the sauce around. And that's it. With these apples no sugar was needed, they were perfectly sweet.
If this wasn't so delicious, I might have remembered to take a finished product photo, but it was really just too good for that.
