Crock-Pot Apple Butter

Recipe Description

What is Crock-Pot Apple Butter? I like to call it sugar-heaven with sliced apples tossed in granulated sugar, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, nutmeg, cloves, salt and ginger.

Simmer these ingredients together for about 10-12 hours before blending it all together to create a perfectly smooth and extremely flavorful, homemade apple butter. Enjoy it on your pancakes or by the teaspoon!

This apple butter is incredible. I made it for a brunch and my friends couldn’t get enough. The spices blend perfectly, and it’s super easy to make, just set it and forget it. Definitely making it again soon.
