How to Make Sugar Free Crock Pot Apple Butter

  1. Wash and chop 6 lbs apples (leaving peels on).
  2. Place the chopped apples in your slow cooker.
  3. Add 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  4. Add 1/2 cup of Splenda or your preferred sugar substitute
  5. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  6. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  7. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  8. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  9. Cook on low for 8-9 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  10. Once the apples are completely softened, use an immersion blender to puree the apple butter until smooth (or carefully transfer to a regular blender).
  11. If the apple butter is too thin, continue cooking on low for another hour or two, uncovered. For thicker consistency, cook uncovered on low for 2-3 hours after blending.
  12. Once the desired consistency is reached, remove from the slow cooker and let cool completely. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
  13. Enjoy your homemade sugar-free apple butter on toast, waffles, or use it in your favorite baking recipes!
