Crock Pot Apple Butter
Ingredients:
Slice up apples or pears (Enough to fill your Crock Pot)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
a pinch of cloves
Alternative to sugar 1/2 cup Agave Nectar and Stevia to taste (about 1 tsp of the NuStevia brand)
Directions:
Slice up apples or pears
Fill up crock pot to the brim
Add 1/2 cup vinegar (any kind but I like the added health benefits of apple cider vinegar)
Cook on HIGH for 8 hours (start 1 pm?)
Next lower heat to LOW for another 10 hours (9pm-7am?)
After a total of 18 hours cooking add:
1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar
EXCEPT I try to lower the sugar in my recipes!!!! SOOOOOO
Instead (and optional) of the above I used 1/2 cup Agave Nectar and Stevia to taste (about 1 tsp of the NuStevia brand)
3 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of cloves (or you could just use pumpkin pie spice)
Mix in and cook again on LOW for 4 more hours. (7am - 11am?)
About this Recipe:
Put in jars and seal. That is all that huge crock pot made - 5 small jars - but it tastes SO good!
