Homemade Applesauce ~ TRICK to making PINK! ~ FruitsandVeggiesMonda...

I love homemade applesauce and making it in the slow cooker is so easy and convenient. Below is my recipe for making applesauce in the slow cooker and you can adjust the sugar and cinnamon to your liking.

You can make the applesauce pink by two ways. You can cook the apples with the skin on and then put through a strainer. Another way is adding hot cinnamon candies! My Mom use to do this for us kids and we always commented on the color. The candies really don't add a lot of flavor but they do make the applesauce a nice pink.
