4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or thighs
1/2 yellow onion chopped or 1 tbsp. dried onion flakes
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Use a 4-quart slow cooker.  Put chicken pieces into your stoneware.  Add the onion (if you are using dried onion wait and add to the applesauce).  In a small bowl, mix the applesauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices together.  Pour on top of the chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.  Serve with rice or quinoa.
