        I’ve never had homemade! There is an apple festival near me every year, and I grab what I can there, though. Every year I think to myself that “this is the year I will pick some apples and I will make stuff out of them for cheap!”, but laziness always wins lol.

          It’s easy to make in the slow cooker! Apples, both sugar, some spices, let them cook until the dice apples feel hollow, puree them, let cook even longer til desired consistency!

          Makes the house smell amazing!

            Yeah, I’ve looked up a few recipes like this, but getting a large jar for $10 from somewhere local tends to win. I will do it one day, I promise…
