Recipe: Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

This was the most delicious apple butter ever!  Definitely my keeper recipe for apple butter now. :)  

It's the perfect recipe for all the autumn feels in the kitchen!

6 1/2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

Place the apples in a slow cooker.  In a medium bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.  Pour the mixture over the apples and mix well.

Cook in a slow cooker on low for about 10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.

Uncover, stir in vanilla and continue cooking uncovered on low for about 2 hours.

Use a blender to puree the apple butter until smooth.

Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate up to two weeks or freeze.

Enjoy!!
