Directions
Tos the chopped apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and a pinch of salt into your slow cooker. Let it cook on low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the apples are really soft and easy to mash with a fork. Once that’s done, use an immersion blender to puree everything until it’s nice and smooth. Then, leave the slow cooker uncovered and let the mixture cook a bit longer—about an hour or so—until some of the liquid evaporates and the apple butter turns a rich, dark brown. Give it a taste and adjust the spices if you like, then let it cool before storing.
What To Serve With This Dish
Enjoy it spread on warm toast, mixed into yogurt, or as a topping for pancakes and oatmeal. It’s also delicious paired with sharp cheeses or dolloped onto vanilla ice cream for a cozy dessert.
