Crockpot Apple Butter

 

apples, cut up, to fill 3 1/2 qt. crockpot

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup apple cider

juice of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon cinnamon

 

Cut blemishes off apples and cut into chunks to fill 3 1/2 qt. crockpot. Add

sugar, cider and lemon juice. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Stir. Add

cinnamon and cook another 10 hours. Stir occasionally until brown. Run

through food mil or any strainer to strain out seeds and skins. To thicken,

if not thick enough, return to slow cooker and cook on High uncovered until

desired consistency.

 

Makes 3-4 pints.

 

***Note: I have been making batches and batches of crock pot apple butter.

It is so simple by this method and it doesn't burn! If you don't have a

food mill, peel and core the apples before cooking and then cook. When

soft, run the cooked apples through a blender. Then add the sweetening and

spices and return to the crockpot to continue cooking and thicken.

 

I am using maple syrup instead of sugar for sweetening. . .and find that the

water added to the apples aids in cooking (and I use that instead of the

apple cider).
