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

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

Just added the ingredients to the crock pot with a few substitutions - I use a combination of 2 parts stevia baking blend to 1 part brown sugar for the sweetener, and subbed half the water with apple cider vinegar. Can't wait to see how it turns out! What apple variety did everyone else try? I wasn't sure so I went with red delicious.

This could not be easier! I had the kids help me peel/core the apples (saving those for apple jelly later on) with our spiral slicer/corer, then tossed the apples into the crock pot. I did more than 3 lbs, preferring to eyeball the amount until the apples filled the crock pot to about 3/4 full. I kept all the other amounts (sugar, etc.) the same. I left it to cook overnight and hit the mixture with my immersion blender the next morning. After doing this, I put it on high with the lid off (stirring once in awhile) for about an hour to thicken it. I got 6 half pint jars from this. LOVE IT!

Delightful! Like some of the other commenters, I used a blend of brown and white sugar. Also, my favorite Apple Pie Spice blend (from The Golden Fig in St. Paul MN). Our local orchard makes homemade honey roasted peanut butter - putting this apple butter on top of that peanut butter on toast is absolutely amazing.

Love this recipe! Been making it for about 4 years now. I do only add 1.5 cups sugar and will change it up to light brown sugar instead of cane sugar most times.

This was the first time I made apple butter. We went apple picking the day before and I had sweet golden delicious apples. I used 10 apples and 1/2 cup of honey. Everything else was as the recipe stated. I cooked it for 8 hours on low and used my immersion blender at the end. I did add maybe 1/8 cup of sugar to the warm apple butter at the end. It is perfectly sweet and delicious!!! I would recommend cutting back on the sugar until you know how sweet it is because 3 cups would have been way too much! You can always add more but you can't take it away. Will make again for sure!

I made this, but omitted the sugar as there is more than enough sweetness in the apples themselves.

I've made 2 batches and the only change I made was to decrease the sugar by 1 cup, and it was plenty sweet. This was an easy recipe and loved the ease of using the crock pot.I added more apples after 8 hrs & cooked 36 hrs then pureed & canned. It is YUMMY!
