Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped apples in a slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Pour the sugar mixture over the apples and stir to coat evenly.

⏲️ Cooking Tip: Start your apple butter early in the day since the slow cooking can take up to 12 hours. This is also a great recipe to make overnight!

  1. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
  2. Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for 9 to 11 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.

🥄 Stirring Note: Stirring occasionally helps prevent sticking, but don’t fret if you forget—just try to scrape the sides to incorporate any caramelized bits back into the mix.

  1. After the initial cooking time, uncover the slow cooker and continue cooking on low for another hour. Stir with a whisk for desired smoothness.

  2. Spoon the thickened mixture into sterile containers and cover.

❄️ Storage Reminder: Allow to cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. It can last for about 1 month in the fridge or up to a year in the freezer.

Enjoy your delicious homemade apple butter on a chilly day, or gift it to friends and family in pretty jars for a heartfelt gesture! 🎁🍏
