Applesauce

 I was going through my photos and realized I never posted about my applesauce that we made! 

 I send home a note asking for parents to peel and cut up two apples.  The kiddos get to put the apples in the crock pot.  I add water, sugar and cinnamon to taste.  Cook on high and it will be done by the afternoon.  Stir throughout the day.  Use a potato masher to soften up the apples.  This year mine were so tender I only needed a spoon.  The smell in the room and hallway is amazing.

Here's the sample text I use when requesting the apples.

Dear Parent(s):

We will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed’s birthday by making applesauce! 

Please send 2 apples to school on, Friday, September 30^th.   Please peel and slice them.

This will make it easier to put in the crockpot!  We will be brewing it all morning

and eating it in the afternoon.  It’s a great treat!

 Thank you for your help in advance.
