This apple butter is a little different than what I grew up eating, but it is simply delicious.
The apple cook so long they turn into a spicy, mooshy, spread. mmmm.
And besides, your house smells heavenly for a day.
I can’t remember where I originally found this recipe.
Slow Cooker Apple Butter
yield: 4 pints
5 1/2 lbs of peeled and finely chopped apples (about 16 1/2 cups)
4 cups of sugar
2-3 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1. Place apples in a LARGE bowl.
2. Combine sugar & spices in a separate bowl.
3. Pour over apples & mix.
4. Place in crock pot (it fills my 7 quart)
5. Cook on high 1 hour
6. Turn it to low and cook it for 9-11 more hours
7. Stir occasionally
8. Uncover and cook 1 more hour
9. Whisk until smooth
10. Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch head space
(Its also good to just eat at this point, very yummy on top of oatmeal. Not that I would know. . .)
