Get out your crockpot; this is a really easy recipe!

Everybody loves applesauce, and homemade applesauce is even better. Best of all, though, is applesauce with a kick of jalapeno or habanero! Impress your entire family with some homemade spicy applesauce. It’s really very simple to make from scratch.

Ingredients:

• Approximately ten large tart apples, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup sugar  (you can use Splenda, and you can always add more sugar if your family likes it sweeter.)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2-oz of Apple Habanero Pepper Jelly

What to do:

1.  Combine cubed apples, sugar, water, and cinnamon in a slow cooker; stir gently. Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours or until apples are tender.

2.  Add pepper jelly and stir.

3.  Serve. We prefer applesauce cold, so we usually put the applesauce in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight. If your family likes warm applesauce, however, just put it in a bowl and let them dig right in! The pepper jelly turns plain ordinary applesauce into a real treat!
