Course Condiment
Cuisine American
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 12 hours


Ingredients  

  • 6 pounds apples
  • 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups raw or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3-4 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Peel, core, and slice apples in fourths.
  • Put them in a large crockpot with vanilla and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir every few hours.
  • Once apples are very, very tender, mash with a potato masher and stir in sugar and spices.
  • Cook on low for another 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Cool and pour into jars or airtight containers and refrigerate.

Notes

If you’d like it to be thicker, simply let it cook without the lid for another 1-2 hours on low (stirring occasionally) or until it reaches your desired thickness.
 
You can store apple butter in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to a month.
You can also freeze jars of apple butter for a year.
Or, you can process the jars in a hot water bath with proper canning lids and rings and store at room temperature almost indefinitely.
