Slow Cooker Cinnamon Ginger Applesauce

Easy cinnamon ginger applesauce made in the slow cooker! If you have a large slow cooker (6 quart size), then you can double the recipe. You can also leave out the ginger if you want to make cinnamon applesauce instead of cinnamon ginger applesauce! If you make it with the ginger, it’s best served warm.
