Ingredients
- 12-14 Granny Smith apples or another variety, peeled, cored, and sliced into chunks (about 6 1/2 pounds)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel, core and chop or slice the apples into chunks.
- Add the apples to the crockpot with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours, stirring every couple of hours until the apples have almost completely broken down and turned dark brown and thick.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the apple butter to a food processor or blender. If using a blender, don't secure the lid completely or the pressure buildup from the hot apples will cause it to pop off. Use a towel to cover the blender instead. Process until smooth, then cool completely. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes
- Serve over biscuits, english muffins, fresh bread, toast, pancakes, waffles, french toast, ice cream, crackers, or even pan seared pork chops or chicken breasts.
- Apples: Honeycrisp, gala, envy, and golden delicious are also all great options.
