Homemade Apple Butter

It's that time of year again...Christmas!! The season is here again and it's time to bring out new recipes and give them a try.

Today's delicious creation is apple butter; now not to confuse anyone but apple butter is not your typical dairy butter with an apple flavor. Apple butter it is actually cooked apples to the point where they caramelize and turn deep brown in color and gives the apples a much deeper flavor profile. You can serve this warm or cold but either way it's delicious.

Here's my recipe for this delicious spread! Hope you enjoy!

Homemade Apple Butter in a Crock-Pot

Ingredients:

6 pounds of Pink Lady apples- peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice


Directions:

Placed sliced apples and vinegar into large crock-pot.
Set on HIGH and cook for 8 hours.

After 8 hours, stir in white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove and allspice and cook for another 8 hours on LOW.

Once it has completely cooked, you can enjoy warm or let cool and store in an air tight container.

Enjoy on some warm biscuits or cornbread!!
