Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe (spiced & dark)

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 1/2 pounds apples – peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar

  (I used 3/4 cup)
• 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

  (I used 3/4 cup)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Place the apples in a slow cooker.
• 2 In a medium bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg cloves, and salt.
• 3 Pour the mixture over the apples and mix well.
• 4 Cook in slow cooker on low for about 10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the
  mixture is dark brown and starting to thicken.
• 5 Use an immersion blender to puree the apple butter until smooth. Continue to
  cook uncovered on low for about 2 hours, to remove most of the moisture. (you
  want a dark brown, thick mixture)

• 7 Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate for up to two
  weeks or freeze.
• 8 Serve on slices of bread, muffins, pork chops or just eat it with a spoon.
