Crockpot Apple Butter


I made this the other day and love it! Is great on toast in the morning or if you have some nice hot biscuits! It tastes too "clovey" right out of the pot but is perfect on toast.


This works really well in a crock pot In pajamas at about 8pm before I settle down for TV at night.I go and peel and slice in chunky slices enough apples to fill my crock put to the top just to where you can put the cover on it. This will be probably close to 4lbs Then add-you can mix several varieties of different apples if you like- 1 3/4 cups sugar - 1 cup apple cider vinigar - 2 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon cloves - 2 tsp vanillaYou can adjust your recipe to your crock pot size. Apple butter is hard to mess up. Once you have all the ingredience you let it cook, right before you go to bed you can take a large spoon and stir and turn your apples if you get up in the middle of the night you can stir again if you like but you let it cook overnight. In the morning as the sweet Apple cinniman aroma permiates your house pour you a cup of coffee and stir the apple butter. Then when it is the consistancy you want taste it. MMMMMMM You can leave it lumpy or smooth. but it is sooo good. To store it if you have made a batch just enough to eat shortly store in a large container and put in the fridge. If you have made enough and want to store for a while. Then You ladel out into clean canning jars in the size you like best, wipe down the rims of the jars then and you put the lids and seals on and turn upside down they should seal. If you have trouble sealing, you want to do the boiling hot water bath in a deep pot for about 5-8 mins then you should be ready to store. If you have not canned before you want to make sure that once the jars have cooled press the lid if it makes a popping sound it is not sealed. So proceed to the hot water bath.

I can't believe it's been this long since I looked on here, I am so sorry about that, had other things on the mind. I am definately going to "try" and make this, sounds so yummy......
