Instructions
- Place the diced apples, water, and lemon juice in a blender.
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
- Pour the pureed apple mixture to a slow cooker and add the brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the it is dark brown. Stir the apple butter every hour or two so that is doesn't burn on the bottom.
Notes
- Use other apples like Macintosh, Courtland, Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala apples.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- You can add all the ingredients unblended to the crock pot and cook. then puree it after cooking to desired consistency.
- Place in an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
- Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Adjust the sugar to your liking. I prefer a little less added sweetness but feel free to add up to a cup of sugar. Use a mixture of half and half brown sugar and white sugar if you prefer.
