DIY Healthy Homemade Blueberry Applesauce made in a crockpot!
There are so many things I love about summer. I love going to the beach and enjoying the sand between my toes. I love having summer bbqs with my large family. I also love when my mom buys 30 pounds of blueberries to make blueberry pies (and that is why we are made this healthy homemade blueberry applesauce).
We usually make so many that we have frozen pies in our freezer for a whole year. This particular year we had 5 leftover pies in the freezer from last summer so my mom decided not to get blueberries this year.
After throwing a fit like a toddler, she finally gave in and ordered the bloobs. Now we have 30 pounds of fresh blueberries just sitting in your fridge. As much as I love eating the fat and juicy berries, there is only so many blueberries I can eat without getting diarrhea sick.
