Sweet Cinnamon Crockpot Applesauce

We made our annual apple picking trip last week.  Bella and her friends had fun, even it kind of got old after a little while.  All of the apples were high up in the trees and they couldn't reach much of anything themselves!  Still, we had fun, and brought home a ton of yummy apples...and now the fun REALLY begins.

My friend Nicole had this delicious looking recipe on her blog that I knew I had to try.  The biggest bonus was that it was for the crockpot - perfect while working from home while I'm not able to babysit something over the stove.

Oh and we didn't just get apples from the farm...we got these a-MAZ-ing potato pancakes...because, you know, something had to "go" with the applesauce :)

Make a LOT of this - it'll go fast!
