Awesome apple butter. Almost as good as Granny's. I did not use the cloves or nutmeg. Smashed with potato smasher when the apples got soft. My kids want it on everything!

It turned out perfect. Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Hard to mess up.

Yummy! I misplaced my grandmothers recipe & was wonderfully surprised with this! I used 1 cup brown sugar & 2 cups white sugar. I also used fuji apples. I think the taste & consistency depends a lot on the type of apples used.
Thank you for sharing this easy, tasty recipe!

I have made apple butter for many years. This is the first time in a crock pot. Wow, so easy and delicious. I used Granny Smith apples. I cut back to 2 cups of sugar and it was just the right sweetness. It made close to 3 pints.

First time making apple butter. I bought apples to make juice, and had lots extra and needed to do something with them. Found this recipe. It came out delicious, we're eating it by the bowl full, including my husband who hated apple butter (he went for a bowl of it at 2am this morning!)

Here's what I did different.
Substituted water for fresh apple juice from my juicer made with honey crisp apples.
1 cup homemade brown sugar. 1 cup Colorado honey.
Sub the nutmeg, allspice, clove for pumpkin pie spice.
3 tsp fresh ground cinnamon.
no salt.
did not peal apples. used honey crisp apples (for my juice also).
Put in slow cooker about 8:30 yesterday morning on low, by 3pm I was smashing with hand potato masher, then left lid off. By 7pm I had the mix in my blender on the puree setting. Added one more 1/4 honey. left on low over night. Already half gone before I can jar it up!

It's still warm and delicious! When it cools down, gonna make a pbnab! Thanks for the recipe!

I use Splenda instead of sugar and apple juice instead of water.. Turns out perfect and less calories =)

Super easy and delicious!!! My first time making apple butter and it turned out perfectly!!!

I have tried making apple butter before, never thinking to use a crockpot to prevent scorching. I let it simmer all day, then used a blender to make it smoother. Turned out great and have been sharing this recipe with friends.

this is the recipe I use for my apple butter and it is great and easy to make... I would like to have more easy recipes like this... I am a new canner and I love it... Thanks so much!

I leave the peelings on, and after it is cooked, use my immersible blender to smooth it out. I like the fact the peeling is not wasted.

I reuse jelly jars, pickle jars (wash several times to get smell out) any jar that been sealed before. They will reseal.

I no longer have canning jars, has anyone tried to freeze it in ziploc bags?

I made this and it's delicious. My husband, who doesn't like apple butter thought it was wonderful, he actually sat down and made a peanut butter and apple butter sandwich for lunch. I'm making more this weekend to use as Christmas gifts.

This is a great recipe, to get it store bought thickness cook apples with lid slightly turned on crock pot. This allows the water to evaporate. I also used this recipe to make sliced apples for pies, cobbler. Cook for about 4 or 5 hours or until the apples are still slightly crisp, can in pint jars. Wonderful!! Also makes good icecream topping with caramel!!
