Homemade Apple Butter image

The taste of this spicy-sweet butter brings back so many childhood memories of eating apple butter with my cousins, the Daileys. As a team we would go through what seemed like gallons of the stuff in less than a week. I hope you love this as much as I do.

Time 12h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 1/2 lb apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla --- optional
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chopped apples in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients, stir to blend well.
  • 2. cover and cook on high for one hour
  • 3. reduce heat to low and cook 10-11 hours, stir occasionally. Until mixture is thickened and dark brown.
  • 4. Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1 hour. Stir with whisk if desired to increase the smoothness
  • 5. Spoon mixture into clean freezer containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze
  • 6. **** You can add more sugar (up to 4 cups) but I like mine just a little tart but still sweet. I don't think I would ever use more than 2 cups even if the Apples are tart.
