Easy Crock Pot Apple Butter - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 quarts unsweetened applesauce
4 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1/3 1/3 cup apple juice or 1/3 cup water
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Preparation
-
Add applesauce, sugars, and cider together in crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
Add spices and cook on low, covered, for 3 more hours.
Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1-4 hours or until sufficiently thickened. May take longer, depends on how thick you like it and your crock pot.
Ladle hot apple butter into 1/2 pint or pint size canning jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Makes about 6 pints.
If you're not into canning, this would probably freeze very well.
