8-10 peeled, cored and chopped apples (any kind will do)
1/4 cup apple juice or apple cider
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 strand of lemon peel (use a vegetable peeler)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Toss apples and lemon juice together and place in crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients, give it a quick stir. Turn on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours. When apples are very soft and mushy, use a potato masher to mash remaining apples to get an even consistency. Remove lemon peel and cinnamon sticks and serve.
If you decide to make a double or triple batch, you can freeze it or can it.
This can also be made into babyfood, just make sure you run it through your food processor or blender to get out any lumps.
