Notes
Recipe makes 3.5 cups
- Combining sweet and tart apples creates the best flavor balance.
- Apple peels cook down and blend easily for a smoother texture and richer color.
- The apple butter will continue to thicken as it cools and chills.
- Use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker for less mess and a silky texture.
- Leave the lid off during the last hour to let excess liquid evaporate for the perfect spreadable consistency.
