The Easiest Homemade Apple Butter
frombakingwithtradition.combakingwithtradition.com/apple-butter-recipe
Starting with applesauce, you’re 1 minute of prep away from getting a batch of apple butter underway. Make your apple butter extra special by starting with a batch of lazy applesauce. This low sugar slow cooker applesauce is anything but tasteless. Your toast deserves only the best.
Ingredients
Instructions
Mix the applesauce in a slow cooker with the brown sugar and spice of your choosing. Set on low heat for 8-10 hours. Stir it about once every hour or so during the cooking time. What you’re looking for is for the applesauce to darken considerably and to cook down into a very thick, spreadable paste. When it’s done, the apple butter will sit on a spoon, holding its shape.
If it seems like your apple butter needs a little bit more time after 10 hours, give it another stir and keep cooking for another hour.
When the apple butter is at the consistency that you like, pack it into sterilized jars. After the jars have cooled, you can store the apple butter in the fridge or the freezer for longer storage. If you’d like, you can process the jars for canning, following the directions in a canning book like the Ball canning book.
