Slow Cooker Apple Butter. I had about 8 apples to use up in the fridge, so I decided to attempt some slow cooker apple butter. I was so glad I did. Not only was it super easy to make, but it let me use up all those bruised apples!
I added a little bit of sweetener to my apples because I wanted to make sure this was very different than my slow cooker applesauce.
I thought the small amount of sugar would help give it a thicker texture once cooked down. I really do think it helped, but next time I am going to try it with no sugar at all and see how it turns out.
I know some of you are probably wondering if you can make this in the Instant Pot. I did find this recipe online if you want to try it.
This wonderful apple butter will make your house smell amazing as it cooks! It’s perfect to use as a spread or even as a dip. The possibilities are endless.
I plan on using this apple butter in an upcoming recipe too!
