  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on high heat for 4 to 5 hours. Use a potato masher to break up the apples for a chunky consistency. If you want smooth applesauce, transfer the mixture to a blender to puree in batches.
