Slow Cooker Apple Butter

October 11, 2017 by Cooks and Kid

This slow cooker apple butter will have your entire house smelling just like fall! The cloves and cinnamon are so warm and intoxicating with the cooked down apples. We love apple butter in this house, and I have never thought to make our own, but we came back from apple picking with more apples then we knew what to do with. I am not a huge fan of applesauce, but love apple butter! I knew that was an easy way to use up a nice portion of our apples. Plus cooking it all in the crockpot makes it so simple!

Apple Butter

This apple butter recipe can be easily doubled if you want to make enough to give as gifts. 4 pints was enough was us to have a jar in the fridge and freeze some for later. I couldn’t have probably given away 1 pint, but I was selfish and stuck it in the freezer. 😉
