Award-Winning Crock Pot Apple Butter image

I like this recipe for the taste and because it all fits into my 4 quart crock pot (packed). After the batch is done, I can them into jars for home use and gifts. To make it easier on myself, I use my spiral apple peeler/corer.

Categories     Apple

Time 8h30m

Yield 3 pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 lbs apples, peeled and finely sliced
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place apples in slow cooker in thirds, layering sugar between each layer.
  • Add rest of ingredients on top and pack them down as well as you can.
  • Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
  • Reduce heat to low. Open and give it a stir. Keep covered and cook 8 hours or until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally. (You can do this overnight and can in the morning).
  • Uncover and cook for the last hour on low.
  • If a smoother apple butter is desired, you may puree in blender or food mill.
  • Place in sterile jars with lids and process for 10 minutes in hot water bath or you can freeze.
  • Note: For more information on canning, you can go to the "Canning Forum" on recipezaar for instructions or to have questions answered.
