Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 6 1/2 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar ((I used 3/4 cup))
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed ((I used 3/4 cup))
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instruction

  • 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 slow cooker on low for about 10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dark brown and starting to thicken.
  • Uncover, stir in vanilla and continue cooking uncovered on low for about 2 hours, to remove most of the moisture. (you want a dark brown, thick mixture)
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the apple butter until smooth.
  • Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze.
  • Serve on slices of bread, muffins, pork chops or just eat it with a spoon.
