3 pounds sweet apples (fuji, braeburn, red delicious, golden delicious, etc)
2/3 cup light brown sugarpacked
1/2 cupgranulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoonsground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoonground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoonground cloves
1 tablespoonlemon juice
3/4 cup apple juice or cider
Instructions
Peel, core and chop apples. Add all ingredients to a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Stir well, then heat over MED heat until apples are soft, about 20 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a regular blender and puree, then pour back into the same pot.
Cook over LOW heat for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent spattering, until apple butter has thickened to desired consistency.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Apple butter can be frozen as well.
Notes
Recipe yields approximately 3 - 3 1/2 cups.
SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS
To make crockpot apple butter, fill 6 quart or larger slow cooker with all ingredients (except the apple juice) and stir well.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours (overnight works well for this). Puree with immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree.
To thicken, add apple butter back to slow cooker and cook on LOW, uncovered, until apple butter thickens to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching on the bottom of the slow cooker.
