Chunky Applesauce a la Mode

This is a new recipe for our family. It came home in sister's homework packet last week to correspond with their study of apples. Since we happened to have a house full of people coming over to feed, we decided it would be the perfect dessert topped with homemade vanilla ice cream. I'm sure we'll be making it again very soon since dad is a fool for apple treats.

Quick, easy, and delicious. Oh, and it makes your house smell divine!

Chunky Applesauce

Ingredients


8-12 Apples, cored, peeled, and cut into chunks
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon

Directions

1. Put all of the ingredients together in a crock pot and mix them together well. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours. If you want your apple chunks to remain large, don't be tempted to stir while it's cooking. If you do stir, the apples will mush up and you'll have exactly what the recipe says: chunky applesauce. Delicious either way.

Top with... Vanilla Ice Cream

*If you don't have an ice cream maker, you don't know what you're missing!

Ingredients

1 Cup Milk
2 Cups Cream
1 Cup Sugar
1-2 Tsp Vanilla (The quality of vanilla you use matters when you're making ice cream!)

Directions

1. Mix the milk and sugar in a bowl until dissolved, 1-2 minutes. Add the cream and vanilla, mix for a couple more minutes.

2. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and mix for 30 minutes. Transfer ice cream to a glass container with a lid and freeze.
