Peel, core, and chop your apples into chunks. Toss them into your crockpot.
Sprinkle on your light brown sugar and cinnamon. Add in the water and stir to evenly coat your apples.
Cook on low for 8 hours. Using your masher mash up the applesauce to your desired consistency.
Notes
How can my kids help?Your kids can help make this entire recipe minus the coring part. When I used to teach Kindergarten, we would make applesauce every year and this is how we did it :) All students helped! Store your applesauce in an airtight container in the fridge from 7 to 10 days. Or once completely cooled place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 2 months
