Homemade Crockpot Apple Butter

It's dark, sweet, tangy, silky, and spicy. It is SO GOOD on toast with a little vegan margarine, you have no idea. It's like concentrated apple pie. I ended up cooking this apple butter for a full 24 hours. Between prepping, cooking, and canning, the whole project took 26 hours! Read more 26! A lot of that was downtime, but still. See less
Ingredients
- 5 1/2 lbs apples, peeled and finely chopped (as many different kinds as you can!) shopping list
- 4 Cups sugar shopping list
- 2-3 tsp cinnamon shopping list
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves shopping list
- 1/4 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 Sprinkle nutmeg shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and core the apples. Slice finely or puree in a food processor. Add apples and remaining ingredients to your crock pot.
- Cook on high for 1 hour, then on low for 8-10 hours. Remove lid (or crack it open a bit) and cook on high until a wooden spoon stands upright in it. The apple butter will have reduced by about half to get to this point. Blend if desired.
- Fill sterilized jars with simmering apple butter and process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
- Remove jars and let sit, undisturbed, overnight. Test the seals and refrigerate any jars that have not sealed completely. Fully sealed jars will keep for 18-24 months unopened. Once opened, the apple butter will keep for 2 months in the refrigerator, or indefinitely in the freezer.
