Crockpot Cinnamon Applesauce

Applesauce is one of those things that is perfect to make in the fall when the apples are abundant, fresh, and affordable. Last year, I made applesauce on the stove and took the time to water bath can the applesauce.

This year, I decided to skip the canning step since we eat it fast enough to not need it to be canned. Canning is a lot of fun, but being pregnant and now having a newborn limits my free time in the kitchen and canning just takes too long. Hopefully, I can get back on my canning hobby next year. (Update: I have also made it instant pot applesauce and it was delicious!)

This crockpot cinnamon applesauce recipe is just the right amount for my family of four. It gives us enough applesauce to snack on for a few days without feeling like we have to eat applesauce with every meal. It’s sweet and satisfying and makes the perfect after school snack or fun side dish (try it with these chicken tenders).

    I’ve only made homemade applesauce once, but it was so delicious! I love your version here because it sounds easy and I love the addition of cinnamon

    I always seem to use my crockpot way more in the fall, but have never made applesauce in it. I always thought it was complicated, but your recipe makes it so simple. I pinned this so I can try it soon!
