5 medium Gala apples, peeled, cored, quartered, and sliced

2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, quartered, and sliced
2 medium Honey Crisp apples, peeled, cored, quartered, and sliced
Fresh lemon juice

2 T sugar

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/3 cup water

Place all of the apple pieces in a large bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the apples and stir. Add in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour water into the bottom of a large crockpot and add the apples. Put the lid on the crockpot and turn on. Cook for about 8 hours on low or on high for 5 hours. Stir occasionally.
If you want smooth applesauce, puree in a food processor or blender. I like mine chunky. Keep in the fridge for a week or 2. You can freeze it.

Makes approximately 4 cups of applesauce.
