CrockPot Apple Butter Recipe

CrockPot Apple Butter Directions:

• Prepare the Ingredients:

  • In the bowl of your CrockPot, combine the sliced apples, water, unsweetened apple juice, Stevia, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

• Cook on Low Heat:

  • Set the CrockPot to the low heat setting and allow the apple mixture to simmer for 6-8 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure the apples are well-coated with the spices.

• Puree the Apples:

  • After 6-8 hours, use a hand blender to puree the softened apples until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, use a potato masher or fork instead.

• Continue Cooking:

  • Cook the apple butter on low for an additional 2-3 hours, allowing it to thicken to the desired consistency.

• Add Lemon Juice:

  • During the last hour of cooking, add the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

• Taste and Adjust:

  • Taste the apple butter and adjust the sweetness or spices if necessary. Keep in mind the flavors will continue to meld as it cools.

• Cool and Store:

  • Once the apple butter reaches your preferred thickness, turn off the CrockPot and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer to sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
