  1. Hailey Nelson

    Peel, core, and dice up the apples. Try using sweeter-tasting apples like Gala or Honeycrisp.

    Place the apples in a crockpot and mix in the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours, stirring halfway through, until the apples are tender and dark brown (caramelized).

  3. Hailey Nelson

    Pour the mixture into a blender and puree for 1 minute until smooth.

  4. Hailey Nelson

    Pour the mixture back into the crockpot and cook on high uncovered for 2 hours until the mixture has thickened.

    Spread the apple butter on toast, biscuits or whatever your heart desires. This will last up to 2 months stored in a closed container in the fridge.
