This looks fantastic! I am going to try this recipe out! Did you leave the crockpot lid on or off? What kind of apples did you use?
Thanks
Wendy
@Wendy – Definitely with lid… we used Johnnygold apples. You could probably use any sweet apple though.
Curious as to why this is apple butter and not apple sauce,did I miss something?
mmmmm….your apple butter looks yummy…I will be right over. 🙂 (I wish).
@anonymous: I’m not sure that there is that much of a between apple sauce and apple butter. I’ve made both now. I think the biggest thing is consistency. I cooked the apple sauce way less and it was thicker. I also added a lot more cinnamon. The end result was a spreadable, brown apple butter…. the apple sauce was yellow and more gloppy. Other than that, there really isn’t that much of a difference. Did that answer your question?
Thanks, Leighann, really I thought that I’d missed something, like where is the butter? Not much of a Martha Stewart here, but this looks good whether butter or sauce, yummy, and easy in the crockpot. I might actually try it.
you canned something without me??? Looks easy and fun. I will have to try it.
I’m sure your house smelled heavenly 🙂 Question. Could you have used a potato masher to mash up the apples near the end? to make them smoother? I definately need to head to the local orchard and get me some apples Yum Yum
Please send us the Pumpkin Butter recipe.
