Fall Snack Option: Homemade Apple Butter (Crockpot)

Here is another great Fall snack option, courtesy of Moms With Crockpots!  I absolutely love Apple Butter, so when I ran across this recipe I knew it was something I had to try! 

Ingredients:

• 5 1/2 pounds apples – peeled, cored and finely chopped (You can get a 3lb bag of apples for $2.99 @ Publix this week)
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Place the apples in a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Pour the mixture over the apples in the slow cooker and mix well.
2. Cover and cook on high 1 hour.
3. Reduce heat to low and cook 9 to 11 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.
4. Uncover and continue cooking on low 1 hour. Stir with a whisk, if desired, to increase smoothness.
5. Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze.

Notes:

You can also can the finished apple butter in a water bath canner. Process the jars for 10 minutes.

Taste and adjust the sugar accordingly.

{Prep Time: 5 min (once apples are peeled, cored & chopped). Cook Time: 11 hrs. Serves: 4 pints}

Enjoy!

Thanks, Moms With Crockpots!
