I used this recipe as a starting point, here's my recipe:

3 lbs of tart summer apples (Green Lodi, cut into eighths
1 lb strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick

Combine in crock pot, cook approximately 4 hours on high. Remove cinnamon stick. I used the Kitchen Aid food mill attachment for my mixer to mash it up and strain out the seeds/stems/peels. A regular food mill would work as well.

Even with the half cup of sugar it is still tart! When cooking in a crock pot do not add any additional water. It came out very liquid, I strained it to thicken it up without overcooking.

The flavor and texture were enjoyed. The second time I made this recipe ... I mixed the end product with a glass jar of retail applesauce. It was a quick solution for unexpected increase in diners. Great addition to my traditional retail product...especially texture and added flavor from strawberries.

My mom always made tons of homemade applesauce with "inperfect" apples from nearby apple orchard. I wished I had known how easy it was when I had an apple tree. You can use any apple - just adjust sugar and spices. I also used blender on chop setting since I like a slightly chunky sauce. Drained off most juice before blending. thanks Sunny for this so so simple recipe!

I made this applesauce with my kids. It was easy and tasted great! I will definately make it again but maybe add blueberries or other fruit next time.
The one thing I did different was put the finished apples and strawberries in the blender so the applesauce was smooth.
