If you want to make apple butter in your crock pot / slow cooker - so easy. It takes a good while to make, but it creates a flavorful and colorful sauce that works so well mixed into your breakfast, baking, and more. Make a huge batch and can it for over the winter months.
Wash apples, and cut into segments (about 1/8ths) and remove seeds.
Add the water and your cut apples to the Crock Pot, place the lid on, and cook on low for about 10 or 11 hours or so.
Blend the apples (you can use an immersion blender in the pot, or remove and use a standard blender and then place the blended apples back in the Crock Pot).
Move the lid slightly askew so the Crock Pot is vented. Cook on low and let simmer for another couple hours so the sauce thickens further (you can also do this on the stovetop over medium heat, it's a bit quicker).
Can your apple butter, or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for about a week or the freezer for a few months.
