Homemade Applesauce!

One of the things I "discovered" this winter was a recipe for applesauce in the crock pot!  Since I just love to use the crock pot (a necessity with young kids in my opinion!!), finding the recipe was a treasure.  Then, when both of the kids just loved the finished product, it became a staple in our house.  I love that it is easy to make, provides a fruit side dish for dinner when fresh fruit is more pricey, and that it makes my whole house smell just fab the day I make it! 

Today was one of those more challenging days with the kids.  Shane in particular was pretty grouchy, and it just made for a long day.  Having the fragrant applesauce filling the house helped make the day just a little brighter!  Once again, it often is those little things in life that add a little sparkle to a day! Today I am grateful for easy, crock pot applesauce!


For those who are curious, this is the recipe that I make!
