Apple Butter - Slow Cooker step by step

1. Core and roughly chop the apples. You can peel them if you'd like, but I don't feel it's necessary, considering everything will be blended at the end. Place them in a lightly greased slow cooker..
2. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice over the apples and stir to incorporate. Place the lid on and cook on low heat for 6 or so hours..
3. After the 6 or so hours, the apples should be all broken down and very tender. It will resemble a chunky, rustic applesauce in texture, but it should be thicker and darker than applesauce..
4. Use an immersion blender to blend it right in the slow cooker bowl or transfer it to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Once its pureed, stir in the vanilla and salt..
5. Place it into a large shallow bowl so it can cool off. Allow it to cool completely, then place it in an airtight container (I like to use a mason jar) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks..
