Crock Pot Pumpkin Applesauce 
Recipe adapted from Preppy Paleo

2 cups apple cider (or juice) I have used  water about 1/2 cups.
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
3 large apples -peeled and cubed
2 t pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
1 t vanilla (optional)
1/2 lemon juiced ( optional)
honey to taste if needed (if making for baby under 1 yr old  don't use honey- really is optional)

Place all (but honey) in crock pot and cook high 4 hours
Hand mash or puree in processor or blender
Add sweetener if desired

According to the USDA regulations new guidelines this is not safe to can in water bath method something about the puree not getting hot enough to kill the bacteria so either use the pressure canner method if canning or EASIER Method -Freeze. Place any amount you wish in a freezer container or bag and freeze.
