So easy a caveman could do it! Crockpot apple sauce is super simple to make and so yummy that it will have you coming back for more!
- 2-3lbs of apples (6-8), peeled and cut into small cubes (do not include the core)
- 1 cup of Simply Apple (or pure apple juice)
- 1 tbsp of Stevia (calorie free)
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon or a stick of cinnamon
- Combine all the ingredients (make sure to peel the apples)
- Cook on high for around 4 hours on low.
- Remove the apples and place into a bowl, remember to leave the excess liquid in the crockpot, the apples will have absorbed much of the liquid
- Remove the cinnamon stick
- Blend the apples with a hand blender until they are smooth.
- Eat warm or cool!
2.2.6
We used about 8 small apples and Stevia (no calories), simple apple and a cinnamon stick. If you don’t have a cinnamon stick, use 1 tsp of ground cinnamon.
Make sure to peel the apples so they have absolutely no skins. I added the cinnamon stick for taste!
Add 1 cup of Simply Apple or pure apple juice and stevia and cook on low for around 4 hours
Remove the apples and leave the excess liquid in the crockpot
Blend until you have a desired consistency with a hand blender
Enjoy! This was some of the BEST applesauce I have ever had in my life!

Roughly Chop your veggies
I placed my chicken on top of the veggies, but I will reverse it next time chicken on bottom veggies on top. The vegetables are simple, just zucchini & sweet potatoes wrapped tightly in foil and salted.
Dinner is served!
A nice added bonus, don’t throw it away this is pure home made chicken stock
Chill to skim off fat
Gently skim the fat from the mixture.
Warm slightly and strain liquid from veggies and herbs. We freeze the remaining veggies for soups.
Place in muffin tin to freeze for later usage

Super simple and delicious almond chocolate cake! No icing required and this cake is something your won’t soon forget, moist, chocolatey and amazing. Our home gave it 6 thumbs up!
- Yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of oil
- 1-2 egg or egg substitute
- 1/8 cup of water (optional)
- small bag of almonds or other nut
- chocolate chips (chocolate and white)
- Mix all the ingredients together except the almonds and chocolate chips which will go on top
- Add the eggs last. We added a little water to the mixture to make sure it was the right consistency (that is optional)
- Bake on high for about 1-2 hours. Crockpots bake different check yours after an hour. We also placed a paper towel inside the crock to trap moisture and avoid a soggy cake.
- Once the cake is finished, remove it from the crock. A crockpot sling is preferable but not required.
- Add the chocolate chips and almonds immediately and serve warm!
2.2.6
Super simple recipe and most of the ingredients you will have at home in your pantry or frig!
Mix the cake together
Place paper towels on the crock so that it traps moisture and helps the cake bake.
Chop the almonds (or any nut you would like)
Add the almonds and chips to the cake. I would actually recommend you pull the cake out of the crockpot first and then add them. They will melt quickly on a hot cake, no icing needed.
It was absolutely amazing. So so delicious!
Enjoy!

All the ingredients, except the sauce!
Cooked noodles, but if you use white noodles you could get away with not cooking them first if you increase the sauce by 2 cups
First layer of noodles and mother pasta sauce (click to see the recipe)
1/2 of the cream cheese mixture
Topped with Cheddar
After bubbling away for three hours, this is yum!
Looks good enough to eat
This is one meal you will make over and over again! If you make the Mother Pasta Sauce, ahead of time, this will be a quick put together recipe for you! Next time I would probably use a sling, created with aluminum foil for easy removal. You can add, change or omit what ever cheeses your family prefers. This is one meal you can make all your own! If you want try and use a crockpot sling for this recipe that would be okay and help the lasagna stay together upon removal!
