Equipment
- Crock Pot
Ingredients
- 10 apples peeled, cored and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Place apples, vinegar, both sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a large crock pot. Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 7 to 8 hours. Use a potato masher to smooth the mixture. If desired, use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
- Pour mixture into mason jars and seal. Chill and spread on toast or muffins.
Notes
- Decrease the amount of brown sugar in the recipe for a less sugary treat.
- Replace brown sugar with dark brown sugar for a bolder, deeper flavor.
- You do NOT need to use a regular blender and puree this mix. It will cook down on its own. Mash the mixture with a potato masher to give it a smoother consistency. If desired, use an immersion blender for an even smoother texture (I do not do this, as I prefer mine on the slightly chunky side).
- For a much healthier snack that tastes similar to apple butter, consider making Instant Pot Applesauce or Crockpot Apple sauce.
