Too much sugar! Why not eat the apple as an apple? That would be healthier!	4 weeks 4 days ago
The first time i made this my husband wasn't a fan of the chunky texture, so this time i cooked it on low for 6 hrs and it was nice and smooth, like applesauce. carolyn	8 weeks 6 days ago
2.5 hours on high wasn't enough to make the apples translucent or very tender. I'll try it again on low; I usually prefer the low setting anyway. Taste is still good though. I also added a half tsp of almond extract. Reminiscent of baked apples. I think I'll stir in some raisins or dried cranberries next time. Vicki	8 weeks 6 days ago
