betty's easy apple butter
Sweet, rich and laced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves this apple butter is perfect as a topping on pancakes, scones, crumpets or English muffins. I think this would be amazing as the filling in cinnamon buns or a couple of tablespoons added to a butter cake prior to baking. For PEAR butter, swap apples for firm pears.

How To Make betty's easy apple butter
-
Step 1Place all the ingredients EXCEPT vanilla in your slow cooker (croc pot) which as been sprayed with oil spray. Place on a low setting and allow to cook for 10 - 11 hours, stirring only once. I leave mine to cook overnight.
-
Step 2Add the vanilla and keep the lid off. Continue cooking for a further 2 hours, stirring regularly.
-
Step 3Using a stick mixer, blend the mix until you've reached the desired thickness. I like mine super smooth but others prefer it to be slightly lumpy.
-
Step 4Allow to cool for an 30 minutes and place into containers and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks OR freeze for up to 12 weeks.
