When those apples start piling up, this recipe is the way to go! It’s perfect for slathering on toast, using in baked goods, or straight from the jar. Grab your slow cooker and let the magic begin!
Ingredients
- 6 cups of peeled, cored, and chopped apples (your favorite variety works great)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of allspice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- First off, you want to wash and prep your apples. Get ’em all sliced up and ready to go.
- Now, toss those chopped apples into your slow cooker. Are you smellin’ that yet? Just wait!
- Next, sprinkle in your granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir, so all that sweetness and spice gets mixed in.
- Pop the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours. If you’re in a rush, you can cook it on high for about 4 hours. Just keep an eye on it.
- When your apples are all soft and tender, you’re almost there! Use an immersion blender to puree the mix until it’s nice and smooth. If you don’t have one of those, you can ladle it into a regular blender. Just be careful handling hot liquids!
- Once it’s blended to your liking, let it cook for an extra hour on low to thicken up. You want that rich, deep color and luscious texture.
- If you’re feeling fancy, can that apple butter in sterilized jars. Otherwise, let it cool, pop it in the fridge, and spread that goodness on everything!
