Crockpot Apple Butter

Somehow, we ended up with a ton of apples to use up, so I brought out the crockpot to save the apples from wasting away. Apple butter is so incredibly easy (only 3 steps!), and I ended up with 5 jars worth for the pantry. Apple butter, of course, means fresh biscuits, which made my sons happy, so we have been merrily snacking for days. 

Crockpot Apple Butter
  1. Peel and chop a bunch of apples.
  2. Put them in the crockpot with 1/2 c to 1 c. water, a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon and a mix of half white sugar, half brown sugar to taste (usually 1 c. total is enough for sweet sauce).
  3. Cook all day until brown and thick. Use a whisk to smooth, stirring every hour or so.
