Apple Butter is delicious served over toast, warm biscuits, scones, and especially pancakes!!!
I found these cute labels online and tied raffia around the lids...so easy and it taste fabulous y'all!
Love the labels...with my signature gingham pattern!
Of course, being my matchy-matchy self, I've got a 'Macintosh Apple' Yankee Candle going...I'm ready to get the fall season going!
Trust me y'all, the crock pot method is the easiest way ever to make this Apple Butter.
Miss Janice's Apple Butter:
8 quarts of applesauce
10 chopped apples
2 tblsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
4 cups Splenda
Add 6 quarts of the applesauce, 10 chopped apples, 2 tblsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1/2 tsp allspice, and 2 cups Splenda to the crock pot Stir all the ingredients and cook on high for about an hour, checking to make sure the mixture is not burning.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 4 hours. Then add the remaining 2 quarts of applesauce and the 2 cups of Splenda. Stir and cook for another hour or so.
If you are canning the apple butter, following canning rules or just store the butter in the frig.
Thank you for visiting with me today. Now, I'm off to make my picks in the "College U-Pick 'Em" football pool I'm in...wish me luck!
I absolutely love apple butter, but I'm always surprised at the number of folks who have never heard of it. Oh, what they are missing!!

ReplyDeletewhat an adorable idea! i love apple butter, and it would be amazing for gifts since it's shelf stable! thanks for the idea :)
ReplyDeleteI save apples all season for apple butter so that I have a variety of apples in each pot. It's time to cook when the Winesaps come in. I put the Granny Smiths in fir as they take the longest to cook. (Before cooking, core the apples and remove the seeds, cut them in quarters and throw them in the food processor. Puree the apples and put them in the pot with some apple cider - preferably hard cider. Then add the Winesaps, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and other varieties in between. Mutsus and Fujis are my favorites. Add a couple of pounds of brown sugar per pot and cook overnight. (I use the huge aluminum dishpans for this and set my clock so I can stir every half hour.
ReplyDeleteNext morning scoop some from this pot into that pot then some into the other pot until all apples are well blended. Add sugar and spices to taste. This will be different every year because of the sweetness or tartness of the apples. Cook another hour or 2 adding more cider as needed.
I just wash my jars in the dish washer. I have never had to water bath and have only had one jar fail to seal.
On special fall morning we serve country ham with fried biscuits drowned in real sweet cream butter and apple butter. Pure heaven!
