Was a little too sweet for me, but it was easy to make and had a delicious flavor.

I made a half recipe and now I wish I had made the whole amount because I'm thinking that an applesauce cake in in order. Used 1 1/2 tsps the Splenda brown and red delicious (the only apples I had on hand) and let it cook down for at least 6 hrs. This is simply good eating just as it comes out of the crock pot, all you need is a spoon!

This was delicious! I used apples I had on hand, Gala and Pink Lady. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I added some cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, & ground ginger to the water and brown sugar. Cooked on high for 3 hours with some stirring throughout. My 2 year old daughter gobbled it up and asked for more!
