Applesauce apple butter in a crockpot
1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | quarts | Unsweetened Applesauce |
| 2 | pounds | Granulated Sugar |
| 1 | pounds | Brown Sugar |
| ¾ | cup | Apple Cider |
| ½ | teaspoon | Nutmeg |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Allspice |
| ¾ | teaspoon | Cloves |
| 3 | teaspoons | Cinnamon |
Directions
The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier texture that's best for applesauce. Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325 deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
