Ingredients
  

  • 3 kilos apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, (6 lbs)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • For the sugars, you can reduce the amount based on the sweetness of your apples.
  • Place the apples as you prepare them into your slow cooker, after they are done, add the sugars, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix together.
  • Set your slow cooker to Low and cook for 10 hours, stirring every 2 hours or so. When the apple butter is thick and dark brown, it is ready.
  • Mash with a potato masher if you would like a chunky version, or use an immersion blender (or pour into a blender) to make a smooth version.
  • Pour into jars and refrigerate covered for up to two weeks or freeze in small containers.
