Crockpot Apple Butter (Easy Slow Cooker Recipe)
Every fall, I have to whip up a big batch of this Crockpot Apple Butter! It’s one of those recipes that makes your house smell like the warm scent of apples and cinnamon, and the end result is a silky, spiced spread that tastes like fall in a jar.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the diced apples into a 6-quart or larger Crockpot. Mix in the remaining ingredients minus the vanilla: brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix so that the apples are evenly coated.
- Step 2
Cover and set the slow cooker to HIGH for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to LOW and cook for 10 hours. It’s not absolutely necessary, but I like to give it a good stir every 1-2 hours.
- Step 3
After the 10 hours, remove the lid and stir in the vanilla. Let it cook, uncovered, for 1 additional hour to cook off some of the moisture. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Step 4
You can serve the apple butter as is OR blend it so that it's creamy. The best way to do this is using an immersion blender but a regular blender will also work (just be very careful when transferring and blending the hot apple butter!). Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
- Step 5
**I used freshly picked Oregon apples with lots of crimson reds, Ida Red apples with a few Cortland thrown in as well. You can use a variety of different apples and you can use several different kinds of apples in one apple butter recipe. Other varieties that work well: braeburn, Cortland, Fuji, grimes golden, jonamac, liberty, and McIntosh
