Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 6 pounds apples (any variety, see notes)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instruction
- Peel and core your apples and slice into ¼ - ½ inch thick slices.
- Place the apple slices, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves into a crockpot. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or until apples are brown and soft.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the apples and then stir in the vanilla. Alternately, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully blend until smooth.
- Continue cooking with the lid off for 30-45 minutes to thicken the apple butter. The apple butter will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Transfer to clean jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. To freeze, cool completely in the fridge and transfer to the freezer for up to 3 months.
