Slow Cooker Apple Butter


Apple butter is delicious on toast, pancakes, pork or spice cake. I like to mix apple butter with a little Greek Yogurt and use as a dip.  Or try with these delicious Old Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits.

Slow-Cooker Apple Butter

Slow-Cooker Apple Butter

Yields: 4 half pint jars | Serving size: 2 tablespoons | Calories: 62 | Previous Points: 1 | Points Plus: 2 | Total Fat: 0 g | Saturated Fats: 0 g | Trans Fats: 0 g | Cholesterol: 0 mg |Sodium: 56 mg | Carbohydrates: 14 g | Dietary fiber: 2 g | Sugars: 10 g | Protein: 0 g

Ingredients

  • 12 medium apples (4 each of Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisp) peeled, cored, cut into 1" cubes
  • Note: I like to mix the apples with tart Granny Smith & sweet apples like Gala & Honeycrisp. Other sweet apples Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, Red Delicious, Fuji, Ambrosia and Spartan.
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • Pinch kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup unrefined sweetener, more or less to taste...(recommend sucanat or coconut palm sugar or honey

Directions

Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add apples to the slow-cooker, pour dry ingredients over and toss to coat. Also, pour in honey and stir, if using. Cover, cook on low 8 - 10 hours...until tender and brown. If you prefer chunky apple butter, leave as is. For a creamier, less chunky, butter, whisk until smooth.

Allow to cool to room temperature, add to 1/2 pint or pint jelly jars, leave about 1" head space at the top to allow for expanding. Cover with lid and freeze or refrigerate.

    Do you have to use different Apples or can it be all the Same Apple?

    • http://skinnyms.com Skinny Ms.

      Jessica, 3 different apples…Granny Smith and 1-2 other sweet kind of apples.

  • Sandi

    How long would this last in the fridge?  Also, how would you alter the recipe to make it "sugarless"?

    • http://skinnyms.com Skinny Ms.

      Sandi, I've left it up to one month. However, I always freeze 3 jars and we usually eat one jar in about 1 week. To make it sugarless, simply leave out the sweetener. I always make mine without sugar…. it's a personal preference.

    Made this last Fall after taking the kids apple picking & it was so easy, yummy & the house smelled so wonderful.

  • Felicia Mckibben

    One of our fave breakfast recipes! Would love to win the cookbook to make even more!

  • G3

    I love apples but cinnamon makes me nauseous! Is there a something that can replace the cinnamon in this or could it just be left out?

    • http://skinnyms.com Skinny Ms.

      G3, I would just leave it out.
