I found this awesome post on Craft 4 Your Life while I was checking out Blissful and Domestic. It seems so simple, delicious, can be used on just about any type of food that you can think of! Delicious!
Apple Butter
We have an abundance of apples on our tree and I am running out of ideas of what to make with them until I saw this recipe for crock pot apple butter and oh it is so good
Started out with about 6 quarts of peeled and cored apple slices
I put all of them in Big red (yes my crock pot has a name)
Then you add
4 cups sugar (give or take depending on how sweet your apples are)
2 teaspoons Cinnamon (again you can also adjust that too)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
and a little nutmeg
mix in your crock pot cook on high for 1 hour then low for 9-11 hours longer and you get this...
I actually started mine on high at 9pm then low at 10 pm then just let it cook all night
after its done cooking take a hand blender and smooth it out.
I just dumped it in my big blender then put it back big red, then you can cook it on low until its at a consistency you like.
This recipe is so easy and not hard to adjust at all.
This is so good on toast or cream cheese and crackers even on a pot roast or pork chops you can add chili peppers pretty much anything when you have the base apple butter.
I got 7 of the half- pint jars out of this batch I put them in a water bath to seal them.
Going to make a few more batches put a cute bow and tag on them and they will make great neighbor gifts for Christmas!
