5-1/2 pounds apples, peeled and finely chopped
4 cups sugar
2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place apples in slow cooker. Add rest of ingredients and mix will. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 9-11 hours or until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 1 more hour. if smoother apple butter is desired, may puree in blender or food mill. Process 10 minutes in hot water bath in pint jars or may freeze.
I did cook for 12 hours total and I did not puree any further.


This was dinner the other night when I had finished canning. It is wonderful and as Lynn at Rocky Creek Scottie commented "it has such a delightful aroma".
Now I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I am having trouble adding my photos. I had to go back to the old editor to upload my pictures. I tried the new editor again today and still had the same problem. It brings up a window that looks totally different and when I try and upload my pictures it just spins its wheels. I could sure use someones help if you have an answer for me.
I hope you all enjoy the recipe and thank you for coming back for it. Blessings!

Thank you for sharing the apple butter recipe. It seems simple enough to make without a lot of babysitting a pot. I for once have not had any trouble with the new photo download. The old one made me crazy. I wish I had some advice for you. Good luck on your next post.
Hi Brenda!!!
I've been out of the loop, but wanted to comment on your lovely shelves bursting with bounty!!! I love it!!! Isnt' it a great feeling to have all those "provisions" lined up and waiting for a snowy day????
I love how everything is out in the open on those red shelves...Beautiful!!!

I made pear butter and plan to make some apple butter when we visit an orchard and get some apples. What kind of apples did you use? It sure seems like a simple recipe and that is what I need. I am still loading my photos on the old version so I can't tell you about the new one.
i love apple butter so much! this looks amazing. i just might have to make some of this.
Yum! I have a friend on facebook who said she made apple butter in her crock pot. Your directions sound about the same, although I think she cooked hers longer. I will post this link if I can find that comment again.
Hi Brenda, I have been using this exact same recipe for several years. I got it from the newspaper and I also bottle mine. It stores very well.
