Old Fashioned Apple Butter Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs apples 
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • First, peel, slice and core apples. Roughly chop them into pieces.
  • In the bottom of your crock pot, stir together the honey, sugar, and all the spices. Add the apples in, and stir it all together to coat the apples well.
  • Cook on low heat for 6-7 hours. Then, remove the lid, and stir until the apples fall apart.
  • Add in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract and stir together.
  • Continue cooking with the lid off for another 60 minutes. Apple butter will thicken during this process.
  • Let the hot apple butter cool completely to room temperature before handling.
  • Remove apple butter from crock pot and place in fridge for up to 3 weeks.
