How to Make Cinnamon Apple Sauce in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
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 Mikeโs 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 knowโฆhave a babyโฆall within the month of October. Wish me luck! :))
Since it isnโt quite time to head to the orchard, I didnโt have near the selection that Andersonโs provideโฆthey seriously have more apple varieties than I ever knew existed! This recipe from Gooseberry Patchโs 101 Super-Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook 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! I’ve made this a few times and the color varies each time. No worries. It is delicious every time!

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!
