Apple Butter Recipe

As you all know from a previous post I have been making apple butter. So for all of you who are too far to get it from me you can now make it on your own! Just to let you all know mine came out way thicker than the picture. I wanted everyone who makes this recipe to know that so they do not think they messed it up. ENJOY<3

Apple Butter Recipe

PREP: 15 min. COOK: 5 hrs.
Ingredients

• 4 lbs. apples, cored and quartered; ( I used Pink Lady Apples, my favorite!)
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar;
• 2 tsp. cinnamon; (I used more)

Preparation

1. Place all the apple slices and the apple cider vinegar in a slow cooker set on high and cook for 4 hours. (It took mine 2-3 hours)
2. Stir several times during the cooking, to make sure the apples don’t stick to the bottom.
3. Once the apples are cooked, they should be soft enough to break easily with a spoon. Mash them with a potato masher or a wooden spoon until you get a sort of applesauce with skin.
4. Place the applesauce in a blender and pulse until you get a really fine puree with an almost buttery texture. You might need to work in batches for this.
5. Pour the apple butter back to the slow cooker. Mix in the cinnamon and cloves. Cook on high, uncovered, for another 45 to 60 minutes or until you get the desired texture.
6. Place in jars and refrigerate.
