I love my crockpot, so when I saw this recipe I knew it was going to be on the Christmas giving list.

So are you ready to set it and forget it?

Crockpot Apple Butter

Ingredients

• 1 dozen apples, peeled, cored, cubed
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon All Spice

Step 1:

• Core and peel apples. Once you cube them put them in the crockpot.

Step 2:

• Stir in water, sugar, and spices with apples.

Step 3:

• Set it on low and leave overnight. I left it around 16 hours on low. You can shorten this time on high, but I would watch the apples more closely. Even on low, I periodically stirred the apples to break them up faster into the mush.

Step 4:

• Once the apples are a mush, stir it to further smooth the mixture. You can put it in a blender to smooth out further. I left it fairly chunky, almost like applesauce.

Step 5:

• Put butter into storing containers. This recipe allowed for 6 smaller canning jars.
• (I also took this step to taste test it. Yummeeeee. I would eat it by the spoonful.)

You could jazz up the jars with ribbon and labels, but I didn’t quite go that far. These would make a good spread for toast or bagels.
