Ingredients
- 6 1/2 pounds apple peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Place the apples in a large slow cooker. Turn on to low.
- In a medium sized bowl add the sugars, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger,cloves and salt. Sprinkle this over the apples and stir it well to coat.
- Cook on low in the slow cooker for 9-10 hours stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken a little and turn darker brown. Stir in the vanilla and continue to cook on low uncovered for another two hours.
- Turn off the slow cooker and let it cool for 1/2 hour. Use an immersion blender to puree it. Alternatively for a smoother apple butter you can also use a blender.
- Spoon the apple butter into sterile jars and refrigerate for up to 14 days or freeze it!
