Zakia B.Homemade Apple Butter 🍎 Ingredients * 5–6 pounds of apples, your choice of variety. I used Honeycrisp & Gala. * 1 cup light brown sugar * 1/3 cup granulated sugar * 1 tablespoon cinnamon * 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1 tablespoon lemon juice Instructions 1. To prep your apples, you can peel, core, and dice them, or you can leave the skins on to save some time. If you’re leaving the skins on, make sure to wash your apples really well. 2. Cut your apples and place them in your crockpot. 3. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, apple pie spice, salt, and lemon juice. 4. Mix until the apples are well coated. 5. Cover and cook on **HIGH for 5 hours**. Make sure to stir occasionally so the apples don’t burn on the bottom. 6. Cook until the apples are very soft and have cooked down to a mushy consistency. 7. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the apples to a regular blender and blend until smooth. 8. Transfer the apple butter to a pot and cook over **low heat**. This will help cook out some of the excess liquid and thicken the apple butter. 9. Continue cooking until it reaches your desired consistency. 10. Transfer to mason jars or an airtight, refrigerator-safe container. This recipe makes about **6–8 oz. jars** and will last in the refrigerator for **3–4 weeks**. 11. Enjoy it on a biscuit, toast, or shoot—even straight off a spoon! 🫶🏽🍎 #applebutter #homemadeapplebutter #fallrecipes #zeetheintrovert
