This Homemade Apple Butter has become my newest fall tradition! It’s perfect to spread on biscuits, pancakes, and can even be used in cocktails. This recipe is basically foolproof and allows total control of sweetness and consistency, with no added sugar.

Instructions

In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the apples, lemon juice, apple cider, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, stirring halfway. Remove the cinnamon sticks and transfer the apples to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the crockpot and cook, uncovered on high for another hour or until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust sweetness level to your liking by adding more maple syrup. Cool and store in glass jars in the fridge for up to 1 month.
