Ingredients
Directions
9 STEPS
1
Place the peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith and Fuji apples in the slow cooker.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
3
Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apples in the slow cooker and gently stir to combine.
4
Cook the apples on LOW for 10-12 hours, until they are soft and dark in color.
5
Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
6
Blend the apples with an immersion blender or transfer the mixture in batches to a traditional blender and blend until smooth.
7
If you prefer a thicker apple butter, continue to cook on LOW with the lid slightly ajar to allow for steam to escape and further thicken the sauce.
8
Allow the apple butter to cool completely before transferring it to clean jars.
9
Store the apple butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or portion into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
