Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about what to do with a wealth of fall apples.
SO EASY APPLE BUTTER
- 4 lbs. (about 12 cups) cooking apples, peeled & sliced
- 2 cups sugar (less if apples are sweet or you like less sweet)
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (more if you wish)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Place apple slices in a 4 quart slow cooker (use a liner to simplify clean up). Pour vinegar and water over apples. Mix sugar and spices together; stir in to apples. Cover; cook on high for 7 hours or overnight. Stir or mash with a potato masher. Cool for up to 2 hours. Ladle into freezer bags or canning jars. Seal and label. Store 3 weeks in refrigerator or 1 year in freezer. Makes 2 to 3 pints.
Notes: Use an apple slicer to speed the process.
Do not peel but finish in a food processor if more smoothness is desired.
