Ingredients

  • 3 lbs apples (softer, sweet varieties)
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar , packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Dash of Salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, core and chop apples. Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir until well mixed.
  2. Cover and cook on low setting 6-8 hours or until the butter is thickened and broken down.  Overnight works well for this too.
  3. Transfer to a food processor to purée.
  4. If apple butter is too thin, transfer back to crockpot, remove lid and cook on low until thickened. Stir often as apple butter thickens to prevent scorching.
  5. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  Apple butter can be frozen as well.
