Crock Pot Apple Butter
Has anyone made apple butter in the crock pot?
I have found a few recipes online, some of which call for applesauce, but I just want to use apples. Cooks.com has a bunch, but I would like something tried and true.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I just did a batch of crock pot peach butter that turned out fabulously. I just blended them, added sugar, then left on low overnight. I haven't done apple butter yet...but would think it'd work the same.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I do it every year. I cut the apples up really small, add the sweeteners I like & simmer all day (about 12 hrs), stirring w/ a whisk every so often.
It's so yummy!

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I love to do it overnight so that it's ready to can first thing in the am (I'm a morning person! )
Peel, core, and chop apples. 14 Large apples fit in my crockpot. Add 1 Tbsp vanilla. Cook apples for 8 hrs on low. Massh up apples. Add 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 c white sugar, 1 c brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground up cloves. (I only add 1 c brown sugar normally that's way sweet enough!) Thwen can and process for 10 minutes.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I did it with plums (with a couple apples and even some local grapes thrown in) in my small crockpot a few weeks ago. http://asinglestepblog.blogspot.com/...um-butter.html Super yum! I'm going to mix some of it with a little icing sugar to sandwich between spice cookies.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I don't think I knew that was your blog, Ajani, someone else posted it last week.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
Someone linked to my blog? Cool!
The kind of apple sort of matters. The ones that break down (sauce apples) work well because... well, they break down quickly. A little tartness helps too. MacIntosh are a good variety, but there are lots of others.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
Don't make fun of me but how do you can apple butter? Are we talking pressure canning?

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
Thanks, y'all.
I have a bunch of random apples I am trying to use up. Some granny smith, some rome, some even gala, I think. I do not can, so I don't even know where to begin with that part. DH says it is easy and I don't need a special canner or anything, yet he does not know how to do it, either. I do have some smaller size mason jars, though. Anyway, I can't wait! I am too exhausted to get it ready tonight, but I will try to do it tomorrow. I can't wait to eat it with some fresh biscuits! Yum!

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
I don't know anything about canning, but apple butter freezes well.

Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter
Absolutely this needs to be pressure canned- it's so thick, it's really the only way to stay safe. I didn't think about making it in a crockpot, I want to try this!
