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.
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).
