The hardest part of this fabulous apple butter recipe is peeling all the apples... but the end product makes it so worth it. Do not be scared of the whiskey. The harsh alcohol flavor is cooked out before it goes into the slow cooker. Whiskey (or bourbon if you want to use that) pairs really well with the sweet apples. Add in the cinnamon and spices flavor and this is apple butter brilliance. After blending, we could eat this by the spoonful it was that good. Perfect on biscuits, toast, oatmeal or even to use in baking.
Note: It does take a while for the apples to cook down. We suggest stirring it a few times through cooking to make sure the apples cook evenly.
