Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe
Our Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe is one that I personally love...the honey gives it a smooth, sweet, but not too sweet taste and the seasonings are just perfect. There are many recipes for apple butter that begin directly with the apples, but this one begins with unsweetened applesauce...and homemade is just so much better. We have a great recipe in our Homemade Applesauce Recipe. Just add a couple of extra apples, and you will have the 7 cups necessary for this recipe. Neither recipe is difficult and the resulting tastes are phenomenal compared to the store-bought kind. I know...you don't have time to do what you're doing now, never mind adding from-scratch recipes to your repertoire. Most of the time is spent in the slow cooker or crockpot for this recipe for apple butter. Okay, if you're really pressed for time and want to know how to make apple butter, you could possibly use an unsweetened, high-quality, store-bought applesauce for our crockpot apple butter recipe. I hope I've already made a good "case" for trying both homemade apple recipes: applesauce and apple butter. Give them a try...it's not a daunting task. Figure a time schedule for yourself and plan to do other things during the slow cooking part. 7 cups delicious, unsweetened applesauce 2 cups of apple cider or apple juice 1-1/2 cups honey 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice There you have it...instant gifts.
