Make quick and easy fruit salads for the week!
Use your favorite fruits: strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, bananas, etc.
Add a splash of orange juice and throw it in the freezer overnight.
By the time lunch time rolls around, the fruit will be thawed but still cold, and you're ready for a healthy lunch.


Crock Pot Applesauce

Ingredients:
8 medium apples (Use a combination of Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, Fuji, Gala, etc.)
1 strip of lemon peel - use a vegetable peeler
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
3 inch cinnamon stick
5 tsp light brown sugar (unpacked)

Directions:
1.  Peel, core and chop the apples.

2.  Add the sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice and cinnamon stick.

3.  Set crock pot to low and cook for 6 hours. Stir apples occasionally, apples will slowly become a delicious applesauce. Remove cinnamon stick and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth or if you prefer a chunky sauce, leave sauce intact. (I used a whisk, which gave the sauce a nice chunky consistency.)

4.  Keep refrigerated up to 3 weeks
