Want to usher in the fall season with the yummy scent of baking apples with cinnamon and vanilla? If so, we have the right recipe for you! This Crockpot Cinnamon Vanilla Applesauce is a much try during the fall (really any time of the year!).
CROCK POT CINNAMON VANILLA APPLESAUCE
The smell is so inviting and cozy, that it makes fall time one of my most favorite times of the year. The changing colors of leaves, the cool crisp air, picking apples from an orchard, drinking warm cider, and cozying up at night.
Using the crockpot allows the apples, cinnamon, and vanilla to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in your home. It makes everything smell so delightful! The crockpot also allows for quick and easy cooking after preparation. You can forget about it, but not really with those scents creating a yummy environment!
The applesauce can be stored for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge. Since it has no preservatives you don't want to keep it too long as it will mold. You can also freeze this and heat it up if you would like for it to last longer.

We had the applesauce and really liked it. However, we thought it was a little tart. Not sure if it was the granny smith apples, the estimated conversion of maple sugar flakes to real maple syrup or the fact that my husband and I are still addicted to sugar, sugar and more sugar!
We will definitely try the recipe again- probably trying a different type of apple. We can't do clean eating cold turkey but are looking forward to incorporating your recipes into a healthier lifestyle. Thanks!
I found you guys from Pinterest and I am so glad I did! I love all the information you post on this blog! You guys rock!! I am really trying to lose some weight by making a lifestyle change and not just following a "diet". I am excited because as I incorporate these recipes into my life it is also effecting my family as well. We just tried this Crockpot Applesauce recipe and it was a big hit, the kids loved it! Thanks again.
