Recipe: Crockpot Apple Butter

Yesterday, while in Trader Joe's, I decided to grab an apple tote to make apple butter.  Tonight, I plan to make healthy *almost paleo* muffins, using said apple butter.  Prior to this, I've only had Musselman's jarred apple butter which is tasty.

 

You can use apple butter on muffins, toast, pancakes, eggs & bacon, crackers, etc.  I bet it would be good on top of a water cracker with brie cheese!

 

12-15 medium sized apples; peeled, cored and cut into chunks

1/4 cup raw organic honey

2 tbsp agave nectar

2 tbsp brown sugar

3 tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp cloves

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup water

 

Place apples in crockpot first and then pour the rest of the ingredients on top.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.  Mash the apples.  Cook on low for another 2 hours.  Mash some more and then blend in a food processor for 3 minutes.

 

This made 3 pints:

 

 

Enjoy!
