Notes
- Apples: We suggest using Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Fuji, or Gala. Avoid Granny Smith apples as they are too tart and firm for this recipe. Weigh your apples before coring and chopping.
- Pureeing: If you don't have an immersion blender, pour the apples into a blender and puree until smooth, then return to the slow cooker. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your blender.
- Makes about 3 pints.
