- Line slow cooker with a liner designed for crockpots and slow cooker. This makes cleanup super easy. Set Slow Cooker to LOW.
- Peel, Core and slice apples thinly.
- Add the apples, water, brown sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon into a medium bowl. Blend gently with a spoon. VANILLA SUGAR can be purchased at most large grocery stores or online. It is sold in either small packets or a small jar the size of spices.
- I suggest lining the crockpot (slow cooker) with a plastic liner designed for that purpose. This makes the cleanup much easier..
- Cook in crockpot for about 6 hours. Apples should have dissolved mostly into a sauce with chunks remaining. You may serve just like this and the apples will melt in your mouth. Or, use an immersion blender or scoop the sauce into an upright blender to create a smoother applesauce. Either way, serve warm.
- ENJOY!
