Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Low/No Sugar

Number Of Ingredients 6

8-12 medium-sized apples or a combination of apples and ripe pears
1/2 cup honey (optional)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Rinse apples, core, and slice. Don't peel. Put in crock pot along with honey, water, and cinnamon and turn on low 12 hours or over night. At this point you will have apple sauce. Puree in the crockpot with a stick blender, or transfer to a food processor or blender and puree. Return to the crock pot and cook on the lowest setting (I use 'keep warm') with the lid cracked to allow steam to escape for another 4-6 hours, stirring once every couple hours. This will darken and thicken the apple butter. Spoon into jars and keep in the refrigerator, freezer, or can using a water bath method to keep in the pantry.
