This apple butter is so yummy! Blooping out of my crockpot aside...it turned out well. My apple peel syrup was not so successful. Albeit, I wasn't so concerned with that experiment, as I did not use organic apples and was a bit worried about all that "concentrated" peel. |

Update on the apple butter!!!!---Sue! I really want to thank you for this simple and simply delicious recipe. My "batch" has really brought a smile to a lot of faces! I can hardly wait to make another one! The other night we had fresh home baked bread, with home churned butter, and the home made apple butter. It was like dessert! I have ladled it out in small jars and spread the wealth around. The neighbor (a VERY nice young man going through a nasty divorce) was so excited to have it, he ate his with a spoon! Thank you! |

Try using apple cider instead of the water for the crockpot apple butter. It adds even more flavor. Also, depending on how tart the apples, the sugar can be cut down a lot. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Has anyone tried grape juice as the sweetener like the Amish do?

Actually I did try some grape juice since I was canning that too and it was good.
I have been doing applesauce and applebutter. Thanks because the batches have been turning out great. I did an experiment today with applesauce in a small crockpot. I left it kind of chunky. I grated 2 clementines and pulled them apart into segments. I added dried cranberries and raisins. I also added sugar and spices, like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and ginger. Basic pumpkin pie type stuff. I then let it simmer down for a few hours....WOW. Its yummy. Sort of a relish, sort of a chunky jam. Really good. I didnt have any walnuts, but I am going to add them to the next batch. |

Thanks! With the sudden onset of cold weather we got our big apple tree picked a couple of days ago. This will be a great way to use some. I've never made apple butter before, and don't enjoy the idea of hours of cook and stir I thought it would take. I tend to try to do too many things at once for that kind of activity.

Susan, I can completely identify with you. I do the same thing. Too many irons in the fire. This recipe is a godsend thoug. Because now I can have the apple butter cooking while I'm at work, then come home for the finaly 4 hours cooking on low and can it without having to stand right next to it the whole time.
Thanks so much for posting this recipe Sue (Grammy Goose).
