A slightly sweet and sassy apple butter kids are sure to love! Cinnamon oil and red food coloring may be used in place of the candies. If using the cinnamon oil and omitting brown sugar this becomes a healthier tasty treat your kids won’t know is good for them! My kids love this on buttered bread, warm atop french toast, or on ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 Honeycrisp apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup cinnamon red hot candies
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups unsweetened apple juice, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Toss apples and lemon juice together in a bowl.
Step 2
Put about half the apples in a slow cooker with cinnamon candies, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; stir. Pour enough apple juice over the mixture to nearly, but not quite, cover the apples.
Step 3
Cook on Low, stirring occasionally, until the candies dissolve, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Increase heat to High and continue cooking until the apples have begun to lose shape, about 4 hours. Add remaining apples to the slow cooker. Reduce heat to Low and continue cooking until desired thickness is reached, at least 3 hours.
