Wash and rinse the apples.
Peel and core the apples.
Remove the skin of the apple.
Place the slices in the crockpot first.
Next add a 1/2 cup of water, followed by a 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Place slow cooker on high heat for about 3 to 4 hours.
After about 3 to 4 hours it will start to look like a very chunky applesauce.
Stir in the red hots and turn to low heat. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
You can either leave your applesauce really chunky or use a food processor to get it to the desired consistency.
