After my coworker Heather made some delicious unsweetened apple sauce in her slow cooker, I wanted to do something similarly delicious. I had heard of apple butter before and decided that I wanted to try making it, since it’s such a classic dish.
After picking a bunch of wine sap apples at Demarest Farms on a fall weekend trip with friends, I knew it was time to try making it. The only problem? I didn’t want to have to sweeten it with any sugars. Luckily enough, I found a healthy recipe that I then adapted by adding some pumpkin spice.
The apple butter came out so well, I immediately had to put it on a bagel as a snack. This is how it all went:
After washing them, the apples looked good enough to bite into. But I had better plans…
Cutting them up and putting them in my slow cooker!
Then topping them with my not-so-secret ingredients, like cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
I set the slow cooker for 16 hours and headed to bed.
In the morning, about halfway through, I could tell the apples were getting cooked.
After coming home from a day of work, I opened my slow cooker and was struck by the delicious aroma of the baked apples. They’ve been slow cooking for 16 hours and were now ready to cool.
After cooling, I divided them into two portions for my not-quite-that-big blender. Then I combined them in my trusty tupperware, but not before taking a nibble first. Okay, I admit it: I also licked the spoon.
