This Slow Cooker Apple Butter is simply made with sweet, juicy apples and warm spices blended to thick and creamy perfection.
Servings 36
Ingredients
- 5 pounds apples, I used Pink Lady
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel, core and chop the apples. I peel the apples, then use an apple corer and slicer that makes it so much easier!
- Add them to the insert of your slow cooker.
- Pour in the coconut sugar, ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
- Stir to combine, making sure all the apples are well coated.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
- Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the apples until they reach your desired consistency. I like mine more on the smooth side, but feel free to leave it a little chunky if you’d like.
- Cook uncovered on high for another 1-2 hours or until thickened to your liking. Stir in the vanilla until well combined.
- Serve warm over vanilla ice cream or spread over some toast. Check the post for more ideas on how to serve apple butter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze.
Recipe Notes
Makes about 4 ½ cups, serving size 2 tablespoons
I used Pink Lady apples to make this apple butter. If you use a sweeter variety, like Honey Crisp, you might be able to cut back on the sweetener some.
If you don't have coconut sugar, you can use half granulated sugar and half brown sugar as a replacement. If you're trying to cut back on sugar, you can use the same combination of monk fruit and allulose.
