Slow Cooker Apple Butter
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 48
Ingredients
For 3- or 4-quart slowcooker:7 large apples1/2 tbsp vanilla extract2 tsp ground cinnamon1/2 tsp allspice1/4 cup granulated sugar1/4 cup brown sugar
Peel and quarter the apples. Place in slowcooker with the vanilla extract. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or so.
Mash apples with fork. Add the rest of the ingredients, cook an additional 3-5 hours, still on low.
Puree in blender to desired smoothness (you can skip this step if you prefer a chunkier apple butter; it only takes a few seconds to get a nice, smooth apple butter in the blender).
NOTE: I like to buy bruised and over-ripe apples off the distressed cart at my grocery store, which is a great way to make cheap apple butter. Your apples don't have to be pretty or particularly fresh.
The timing is up to you. I started my apples around 7pm, went to sleep, smashed them and added the other ingredients around 6:00 the next morning, then blended and jarred it a couple of hours later. As long as you don't let your apples burn, this recipe is impossible to screw up.
Serving Size: Makes about 3 cups, or 48 1-tbsp servings.
