| Homemade Crockpot Apple Butter Via The Gracious Wife |
Homemade Crockpot Apple Butter
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours 20 mins
Serves: About 4-6 cups
Ingredients:
6 pounds of apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
a pinch or 2 of ground cloves
Instructions:
Peel, core, and slice all 6 pounds of apples.
After the apples are sliced, just toss them into the Crockpot, along with all the rest of ingredients and stir. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until apples are very soft, stirring every hour or two.
When the apples are cooked through, puree them in a blender or food processor. Depending on the size of your processor, you may need to puree in several batches. I recommend pureeing even if you're using applesauce so that the spices get blended thoroughly and the texture is smoother
Then just put it all in a container and put in the refrigerator or freezer. Or immediately slather generously on toast.
