I was cleaning my engine and noticed a crack in a evap hose. Picture attached. What hose do I need to get to replace this?

Why not cut the cracked end off and shove it back into the rubber piece? If it wont reach far enough, buy a section of rubber emissions hose that fits both ends. Just measure the length and inside diameter. It has to be emissions hose, or fuel line. Do not use windshield washer line as the engine heat will destroy it.
I have fixed lines (on other vehicles) using heat shrink tubing for battery cables, and a heat gun, without issues. Not everyone has that stuff, but its an option.

I'd do what FB97 said, cut the line and if it doesn't reach, get a longer piece of say, rubber fuel line, and stick her in there. Done and done. Easy fix. Oh, cut it nicely. I'd suggest a tubing cutter so you get a nice clean straight cut
Surprised you don't have a check engine light for a small evap leak...

3/8" or 7/16" fuel line will probably fit. OR you can paint it with some liquid electrical tape.
