Best Granny Kinkels Crock Pot Apple Butter Recipes

SLOW COOKER APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the apples in a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg cloves and salt. Pour the mixture over the apples and mix well.
• Cook in slow cooker on low for about 10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.
• Uncover, stir in vanilla and continue cooking uncovered on low for about 2 hours.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the apple butter until smooth.
• Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze.
• Serve on breads, muffins, pork chops or just eat it with a spoon.

CROCKPOT APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
• Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray and place the apples inside. I use as many apples as it takes to fill up my slow cooker!
• Add remaining ingredients to slow cooker and stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-6 hours.
• Uncover, give it a good stir, and continue cooking uncovered for an additional 2 hours on LOW or 1 hour on HIGH. This will allow the apple butter to cook down and thicken.
• Use a hand blender to puree until smooth. If you don't have a hand blender, transfer to a regular blender and puree in batches.
• Store in mason jars in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or keep in the freezer. If you want to store the apple butter in a pantry, be sure to follow proper canning procedures (sterilizing and processing jars). See the canning instructions in the notes below.

SLOW-COOKER APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Cut apples into 1-inch cubes; place apple cubes and 1 ½ cups of the sugar in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 6 hours.
• Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and remaining 1 ½ cups sugar. Cover; cook on LOW until apples are very soft, 4 hours.
• Place half of apple mixture in a blender. Secure lid on blender, and remove center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over opening. Pulse until smooth or to desired texture; repeat with remaining apple mixture. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
