DH and I make homemade apple butter every fall.  We use our crockpot to make it and then freeze it in small jars.  I never buy apple butter in the grocery store; it's just not the same as homemade.  We like it on bread, toast and with cottage cheese (think PA Dutch).

RECIPE – HOMEMADE APPLE BUTTER

 

Ingredients:

1 gal. Cider (boiled down to half gal.)

8 quarts apples (peeled, cored, sliced)

2 cups sugar (can use more or less, if desired)

Corn syrup, dark   (1/4-1/2 cup)

Cinnamon, cloves, allspice – to taste (more cinnamon than cloves and allspice)

 

Directions:  Boil cider down to half a gallon.  Place cider in 6 quart crockpot.  Add sliced apples gradually.  Cook on high, then turn to low when apples start to cook.  Add sugar, corn syrup, and spices.  Cook until thickened in crockpot and/or oven set at 300 degrees.  Stir often.

 

Note:  If apples start to overflow in crockpot, move some to oven kettle and set oven at 300 degrees.  Stir often, and then return to crockpot to simmer as space permits.

 

Note:  We use a combination of apples.  Cortland and McIntosh are favorites.  Recipe freezes well.
