Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step
8 hrs

Cook on Low setting until the apples are very soft and easily mashed with a fork, approximately 8 to 10 hours. (8-10 hours)

03

Step
5 mins

Using an immersion blender, puree the apple mixture directly in the slow cooker until completely smooth. (5 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs

Continue to cook the apple butter uncovered on Low, allowing the excess liquid to evaporate and the color to deepen to a rich, dark brown. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This may take about 1 hour, or longer depending on your desired consistency. (1+ hours)

For a smoother texture, peel the apples before chopping.
Adjust the spices to your preference. A pinch of nutmeg or allspice can add extra depth.
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
