Homemade Apple Butter:
4 quarts finely chopped apples
2 3/4 cup sugar
2 3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp salt

Pour apples into slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients. Drizzle over apples. Cover. Cook on high for three hours, stirring well with a large spoon every hour. Reduce heat to low and cook 10 to 12 hours, until butter becomes thick and dark in color. Stir occasionally with wire whisk for smooth butter. Freeze or pour into sterilize jars and seal.
Process jars for 20 minutes

Loved this video- I made 1/2 a crockpot full this morning. Hoping it turns out good, I’ve never made it before! Fingers crossed :)

How many pounds of apples did you use? I’m trying to figure out how many apples I need to make 12 1 pint jars for Christmas gifts. Thanks so much, I enjoyed the video and thank you for being so thorough.

I cook mine in a roaster and start it in the evening so I can sleep at night while it cooks

I don't peel the apples for apple butter, only core them. The peel will cook away and what lingers, gets mashed up with a handheld blender. Just an FYI to make your process a little easier.

i have same green bag holder very convenient. I just made apple butter from store apples.

Nice work. Poor little man needs the little handle attachment for the peeler/corer. I found a brand new corer in Marketplace for $5!! 😊

I would mix the salt sugar and clove together and layer it between the apples as you put into the crockpot.

Poor little kid... at least buy him one that works if you're going to make him slave over those apples... geez!
