I was looking for an easy recipe to make apple butter and found this on Allrecipes.com.
I did cut back on the sugar than what the original recipe called for and could possibly cut it back more if your apples are sweet.
I will be buying more apples to make more apple butter! It was so easy and the results are delicious! :)
5 1/2 pounds apple; peeled, cored, and diced
3 cups sugar (the original recipe called for 4 cups, and the next time I make it I might cut back to 2 cups)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place apples in slow cooker. Combine the sugar, spices & salt; pour over apples and mix well.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown. Stirring occasionally.
Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer.
Stir with wire whisk until smooth.
Spoon into freezer containers leaving 1/2 inch head space and let cool.
Put lids on containers and freeze or refrigerate.
I've been meaning to apple butter since LAST fall! The recipe seems easy enough, I'll have to try it myself sometime :-) I found your blog on the Taste of Home forums and it looks great! Good job!
