Our Apple Butter

Our Apple Butter

My 9-year-old son said ‘Mom, you have to share this with America!’ It’s a huge hit at our house and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 5 ½ pounds McIntosh apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (Optional)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Step 1
Blend apples in batches in a blender until no large chunks remain.

Step 2
Combine blended apples, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger in a slow cooker.

Step 3
Cook uncovered on High for 1 hour. Place cover on slow cooker and continue cooking, stirring about twice per hour, until smooth, 6 to 8 hours. Remove the cover and continue cooking and stirring until thick and spreadable, 2 to 4 hours.

Step 4
Spoon into jars leaving about an inch of space at the top; seal and freeze.

Cook’s Notes:

This uses very little sugar and retains lots of the apple flavor. Pureeing beforehand makes it easier than attempting to mash them at a later stage. You can let it cook longer if you want it thicker. *I use this to make roughly eleven 4 oz jelly jars.
