Easy Crockpot Apple Butter

Now that fall is officially here, at least we think it is, I’m craving everything apple and pumpkin. One of my favorite recipes just so happens to be this delicious crockpot apple butter recipe. I love how easy and simple it is to make and it makes the entire house smell absolutely wonderful. 

It’s also one of those simple recipes that you can “dump” in the crockpot and forget about as well. My husband loves apple butter on toast or biscuits at any time of the day.

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

If you’re anything like me, you find comfort in eating good food that you know you’ve made. I love using my crockpot for dinner and lunch recipes and always on the lookout for other ways to use it.

Once I tried this slow cooker apple butter recipe, I was hooked. Pair this up with a nice loaf of homemade bread or even just on some crackers and you’ve got a tasty treat that is certain to be a hit. 

Throw all of the ingredients in your crock pot before you go to bed and you will wake up to that wonderful spicy autumn smell in your home, and have a nice treat ready for breakfast.

What would be a great way to share this homemade apple butter recipe with family and friends? 

If you’re looking for a really great homemade Christmas gift, why not give the gift of something homemade? Everyone loves the idea of getting something made from the heart so this is one simple way to make that happen.

What type of apples is best?

This is entirely up to you as most have a favorite. Softer varieties  cook a lot quicker.  I find mixing a few varieties gives your apple butter more depth in flavor.  My favorite combinations are Fuji, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious.

If you are buying apples at an orchard, sometimes they have bags which aren’t quite so perfect, so grab these up, usually you can find these at a cheaper price.

Do I need to peel the apples?

I don’t because they cook down so much you aren’t left with the peel feel.  Also, if you use a blender, you get ultra-smooth apple butter.  

And, not peeling all these apples is a time saver.

If I’m using sweet apples, can I cut down on some of the sugar? 

This recipe is perfect just the way it is! Seriously! Before you alter it, try it out this way first. Then you can always change it up later on if you want. 

I always suggest on my recipes, and in fact when I’m trying new recipes, make it as shown then add more or take away to make it to your own liking. That usually applies unless there’s something you know you don’t like such as hot sauce or capers.

Are you ready for the recipe? You just need a few simple ingredients and steps to make it happen! 

Just a few easy steps to make.

How to Make Apple Butter In Your Crockpot

Mix all ingredients in your crockpot or slow cooker.

If you notice an excessive amount of liquid, the apples might be really juicy.  Just remove some of this liquid and keep until they have completed cooking.  If too thick, add a little of this liquid back into the mixture.  If you leave all of it, sometimes your Apple Butter could be a bit thin.

Cook to this perfect finish.

Serve up on a great bread for breakfast or snack.

Enjoy this delicious easy homemade crockpot apple butter recipe!

What will you eat this crockpot apple butter with? 

Think about putting this on at night and wake up to the wonderful aroma of fresh apple butter for your breakfast.  Store this in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.  I love using small mason jars then they are also ready for gifts too.
