Servings 2 pint jars

Equipment

  • crock pot

Ingredients
  

  • 6 1/2 lbs apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Peel, core and slice the apples and place into the crockpot on low with everything else aside from the vanilla. You don't need to add liquid as the apples will release some as they cook. Stir well.
  • Cook on low for about 10 hours, stirring and checking it occasionally. If your crock pot is fairly hot it may be done sooner and you don't want to burn it.
  • After the apples are well cooked, puree with an immersion blender or in a blender. If the butter is still too thin, place in crock pot with the lid off and allow to cook further to evaporate some liquid.
  • When it is thick, stir in the vanilla and spoon into canning jars (don't use non tempered glass for hot items), allow to cool and refrigerate. You can store in the freezer for up to a year and in the fridge for 1 month.
