This was my 1st attempt at making Apple Butter - and it turned out really, really good! I modified many other recipes I found on the internet and am satisfied with the result. If you're also attempting this for the 1st time know that it's a 2 day process, so plan accordingly.
10 -14 Apples (I used Braeburn, Red Delicious and Granny Smith)
2 tsp - Cinnamon
1/3 cup - White sugar
1/3 cup - Brown sugar
1/2 tsp - Cloves
2 T - Honey
1 T - Vanilla
Begin by coreing the apples and cutting into quarters (or smaller if needed). You do not need to peel the apples. Put all of the quartered apples into your crockpot. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
When the cooking is done, mash the apples with a fork and stir in the sugars, honey, cinnamon, and cloves.
Cover again and cook on low for 6 hours. If you have prominent skin - blend in an blender for a short time. Apple Butter will thicken upon standing.
