Other sweet apples Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, Red Delicious, Fuji, Ambrosia and Spartan. 3 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1/4 teaspoon cloves Pinch kosher or sea salt 1/4 cup unrefined sweetener, more or less to taste...(recommend sucanat or coconut palm sugar or honey Directions Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add apples to the slow-cooker, pour dry ingredients over and toss to coat. Also, pour in honey and stir, if using. Cover, cook on low 8 - 10 hours...until tender and brown. If you prefer chunky apple butter, leave as is. For a creamier, less chunky, butter, whisk until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature, add to 1/2 pint or pint jelly jars, leave about 1" head space at the top to allow for expanding. Cover with lid and freeze or refrigerate. | |
