Do you like apple pie? What about wassail? (Me too!) Well, you can have the taste of apple pie and wassail in an apple sauce with this Slow Cooker Cinnamon Apple Sauce from Gooseberry Patch’s 101 Super-Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook!
Ryder LOVES apples. He gets so excited when he sees them! The excitement is a fairly recent development. He has always loved his apple slices, but for some reason seeing an apple has become a reason to squeal for glee these days. I love it! So I am really looking forward to our annual trip up to Cris and Mike’s to go to Anderson Apple Orchard. He had fun last year, but I can only imagine how excited he will be this year to run through the orchard and see all the apples. And we might climb a tree or two in the process. (Although, I am still trying to figure out how to do all of my favorite fall agri-tourism activities and you know…have a baby…all within the month of October. Wish me luck! :))
Since it isn’t quite time to head to the orchard, I didn’t have near the selection that Anderson’s provide…they seriously have more apple varieties than I ever knew existed! This recipe called for 3 lbs of cooking apples. I had NO idea what cooking apples even were, so I Googled it and wrote down the different varieties that were listed. When I went to Ruler, they did not have any of those on my list, so I just grabbed a back of Golden Delicious. And man were they delicious in this Slow Cooker Cinnamon Apple Sauce!

You’re having a baby?!? I’m probably really behind the times but congratulations!! How exciting for you! ??? And thanks for the recipe. I have a bunch of apples that are going to go bad. Was just thinking yesterday about making some applesauce or a pie and dehydrating the rest.
Hi Lori!
Well, my baby will be turning 3 in October, and the little guy in the pic above will be starting kindergarten this fall! Time is flying by!
That sounds like some great ways to use up apples! I think I may have to make another batch of this applesauce this week. The kiddos love it (and so do I!). Enjoy!
