Easy Slow Cooker Apple Butter Directions
- Slice and core the apples, leaving the peels on. Place apples in the slow cooker and cover. Set slow cooker on high for 4 hours. Stir occasionally while the apples cook. Turn the heat off, and mash the apples with a potato masher. Allow to cool somewhat, then ladle the apples into the pitcher of a high-speed blender, in batches of needed. With the lid on tightly, blend until you have a very smooth, buttery mixture, with no chunks.
- Transfer the mixture back into the slow cooker. Turn the heat on high and cook, uncovered, for an additional 45-90 minutes, until it’s as thick as you’d like. Add cinnamon, if using, and stir in the lemon juice. Allow to cool completely, and store refrigerated, in a sealed jar, for up to 1 month.
