Ingredients

6 1⁄2pounds apples(peeled, cored and roughly chopped – I used 11 granny smith and gala apples)
1cup granulated white sugar
3⁄4 cups Brown sugar
1tablespoon ground cinnamon
1⁄2teaspoon ground nutmeg
1⁄4teaspoon ground cloves(optional – I did not have any so I added extra nutmeg)
1⁄4teaspoon salt
1 vanilla extract

Instructions

Place all the ingredients except salt and vanilla extract in the slow cooker. Mix everything together, cover with lid and simmer on low for 10 hours.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Cook for an additional 2 hours.
Remove lid and using an immersion blender (for food processor or blender – see tip below), blend everything together. If you prefer a chunkier apple butter, you can use a potato masher to mash it all together.
Divide into jars, let cool and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can also freeze this for up to 2 months. At the rate the apple butter is being consumed, I think we will have to make another batch soon.

Recipe Notes

If you are using a food processor or blender, allow the apple butter to cool down a little before pureeing the apple butter in batches.
