Side Pannel
Crock Pot Apple Butter
Ingredients List
- 4 lb Apples; plus
- 2 ts Cinnamon
- 1/2 ts Ground cloves
Directions
During the afternoon or evening we peel, core and slice the apples. The
slices do not need to be thin. We stuff as many slices in the crock pot as
we can, put the lid on and cook them for a few hours on the "high" setting.
We reduce the setting to "low" and let the apples cook overnight. The next
morning, the apples have cooked down by about one/half and are a rich
brown. We then stir in the spices to taste (about 2 teaspns. of ground
cinnamon and 1/2 teaspn. of ground cloves and because we use sweet
applesno sugar) and let it cook on "high" for a few hours with the lid
off to reduce some of the liquid."
"We prefer our apple butter smooth so we run it through the blender in
small batches. We refrigerate what we need immediately and freeze the
rest."
Canning it in decorative jars makes a fine gift idea.
