Crockpot Cinnamon Applesauce Recipe
Crockpot Cinnamon Applesauce – homemade applesauce is super easy to make in your slow cooker, and only requires four simple ingredients! This is the perfect snack or treat, and tastes amazing when it’s warm!
Today’s recipe is coming to you by request of my five year old, thanks to all of the fun apple activities she’s been doing the past couple of weeks in Kindergarten.
Last week her class made applesauce, and she loved it so much she came home begging for us to do the same. So this weekend, that’s just what we did!
It’s been a long time since I’ve made homemade applesauce, and after making it this past Saturday, I can’t believe I’ve waited so long make it again!
In fact, the last time I remember making crockpot applesauce was when I was teaching my own kinder class about six years ago!
I’m pretty sure I’ve made it at some point since then, but let me tell you this; my house smelled amazing on Saturday, and eating a bowl of this yummy cinnamon-y apple goodness was such a treat!
I’m definitely going to be making this crockpot cinnamon applesauce a lot more often now!
This recipe is crazy easy, too. You just stir everything together and then let the magic happen.
When it’s all done cooking, I just stir mine up with a wire whisk or spoon. The apples fall apart easily and you’re left with a crockpot full of sweet and delicious homemade applesauce!
Oh, and this tastes AMAZING warm! I highly recommend eating it that way (though not steaming hot), but you can also let it cool and store in the refrigerator for later.
This crockpot applesauce makes about 6 servings around 1/2 cup each, which is perfect for our family to eat over a few days time. You can definitely double this recipe if you’d like to make more applesauce, though!

I was given a bag of red delicious apples and came across this recipe and decided to try it today. It was wonderful smelling apples and cinnamon in the crockpot all afternoon. And the applesauce was amazing! It was perfectly sweet with lots of cinnamon flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s definitely a keeper in my house! 😊
Simple, easy crockpot recipe with a delicious end result. Will be making again!
Can I can this ?
Yes!
Kid approved!! It was so delicious there was none left (but I have 3 kids and a husband so they gobbled it up during dinner)! Definitely going to double if not triple it to store.
I haven’t made it yet but I’m making it now, I was so easy to put together and it looks yummy and I’m sure it will taste as good as it looks.
Thank you
Looks delish!
Can you freeze this applesauce?
Yes!
I freeze applesauce all the time. Just thaw and stir.
I haven’t tried making applesauce in a slow cooker before but I will surely do now, because this recipe looks amazing!
Can you. Can you put it in a food processor to puree my husband has to eat pureed food
Yes that will work!
Isn’t it fun when kids get excited about what they learn at school they want to recreate it at home! Looks so good!

This s wonderful. Neighbor has 2 Apple ???? trees and is sharing. I use less sugar n it’s great. Might try without. Going to freeze some!
I’m going to make this next weekend. Could this be canned in jars and saved for later? Anyone know how long to process the jars if so?
This was a great recipe. My husband and son both loved it. Perfect recipe for a rainy day in SWFL trying to pretend it’s cold outside. Love knowing the exact ingredients. Will make it again for sure!
Also I am diabetic as well and used Splenda instead of pure sugar and I thought it tasted just as great!
Thanks Whitney, my daughter is but was afraid to try tho with Splenda- did u substitute all the sugar called for?
I am making this RightNow..why do I think this would be a good topping on vanilla ice cream?
Yum, yes!
I am just about to try this. I am so excited. Just recently found out I am allergic to store bought apple sauce and it is one of my favorite things. To the crock pot I go!
I’m diabetic so thinking about making this with Monkfruit sweetener
