Description
An addictive apple butter spread, lightly spiced and full of concentrated apple flavor. Perfect on toast or to use in many baking recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (I like Honeycrisp apples)
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, stirring halfway through cooking.
- Once apples are soft use a high powered blender or an immersion blender to blend the apples until smooth. Return to the slow cooker and continue cooking, uncovered on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The apple butter will thicken slightly but will still be runny while its warm. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
- Turn the slow cooker off and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Store in glass jars in the fridge or freeze if not planning to use right away.
