Oh, did my house ever smell GOOD yesterday!
I had some apple butter cooking in the crock pot all day.
I had been planning to make some this fall,
and realized yesterday morning
that I had all of the ingredients I needed
that I had all of the ingredients I needed
already in my kitchen!
Run go check! You might, too. ;-)
The recipe I used can be found
here.
I just noticed that the recipe says to stir every hour.
Oops! I didn't stir mine at all and it turned out just fine. ;-)

I think I'll quadruple the batch next time and can some for gifts. :-)
Did you know that you can make apple sauce in the crock pot, too?

It never occurred to me to make apple sauce in the crockpot! What a great idea! I do apple butter that way though. My way is to make the applesauce first, then put it in a crockpot and add a lot of brown sugar, a tiny amount of salt and cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and then let it cook, open, on low, until it is "right." I don't measure anything. I just put in what seems right at the time. Haven't had it fail yet. Yours looks SO yummy!
I love apple butter and have 9 boxes of apples waiting to be sauced... Thanks for the inspiration. I will make a few jars of apple butter too! Since we live off grid I think I will try doing it on the woodstove...
Did you know you can substitute apples with pears for the apple sauce and the apple butter...as well as in cakes and pies. I have three pear trees all with an abundance of fruit this year...so I've been making crockpot apple(pear)butter/sauce for 3 weeks now...and more to go. Thanks for the recipes. :)
I have only made one batch of Apple Butter, but on the stovetop and stood over it a long time stirring often. Was thrilled to find that I could put it in my crockpot instead! My step-father's recipe called for "a cup of chopped pecans" in the last 5 minutes of boiling. I love apple butter and it was so yummy on toast. Not quite sure when I would need to put the pecans in, but probably sooner than that. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
