slow cooker Applesauce with Cranberry Juice

Wash, core, and chop (but don't peel) the apples. Squeeze lemon juice on them as you chop to keep them from browning. Put them in slow cooker. Pour cranberry juice and mix in sugar. Set slow cooker to high for the first couple hours, then turn it to low for four to six hours. Stir occasionally and mush up the apples as they get soft. Taste and add sugar if it's too tart for you. If you want to add craisins or dried cranberries, add them about two hours before the end of cooking. Serve the applejuice warm (leftovers are good cold or warmed up). The cranberry juice and apple peels turn this a very pretty pink color.
