Ingredients

  • apples

    A mixture of sweet apples, such as honey crisp, pink lady, gala, or golden delicious works best

    6 lb
  • brown sugar

    Use up to this amount or none at all. See notes below regarding options.

    1 c
  • cinnamon
    1 tbsp
  • nutmeg
    ½ tsp
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • vanilla extract
    1 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Core and slice apples and place them in the bottom of a crock-pot. Note: peeling is optional and can be pureed with the softened apples later in the process.

  2. 2

    Mix together cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and added sweetener if you're using any.

  3. 3

    Toss apple slices with spice mixture.

  4. 4

    Cook on low for 10 hours.

  5. 5

    Stir in vanilla extract and crush large apple pieces with a spoon.

  6. 6

    Cook on low for 2 more hours. Optional: Leave the lid ajar for the last hour of cooking to allow excess liquid to evaporate if you feel like the apple butter is too runny.

  7. 7

    Allow apples to cool slightly and then puree with an immersion blender or a regular blender (or transfer in batches to a food processor.) Apple butter will continue to thicken as it cools.

  8. 8

    Transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks or store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
