Steps:
- Combine Honeycrisp apples, Granny Smith apples, and apple cider in a large stainless steel or enamel-coated saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until mixture reduces by about half, about 20 minutes.
- Stir sugar and lemon juice into the apple mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking at a simmer until the mixture is very thick, about 25 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

AMAZING CROCK-POT APPLE BUTTER
This is not only the BEST apple butter I've ever made, it was also the EASIEST, because you put it in the crock pot and forget about it! What's not to love?!!

Steps:
- 1. Peel, core and slice the apples. (This is really the only time-consuming part of the recipe - peeling, coring and slicing the apples.) Place the prepared apples into the crock pot.
- 2. In medium mixing bowl, put the sugar and all of the other spices and stir to mix well. Pour/sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the apples in crock pot. Drizzle the liquid (I always use apple juice, instead of water, seems to give it more flavor, in my opinion) over the apples and stir (as best you can) with a large, flat spatula until well mixed. (Will be more like "tossing" than stirring.)
- 3. Turn crock pot on low setting and cook overnight or for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally, until it is thickened to your liking. When the apples have cooked for several hours, you will be able to "mash" them up a little bit with a potato masher, if you have one. I found it works best and makes the smoothest apple butter if you use an immersion blender and blend it until it is a smooth puree. If you feel like it is too thin, remove the lid and cook for awhile longer to allow it to thicken a little more. Stir more often toward the end of the cooking time, as it thickens, to prevent scorching. (I did not have to do this, mine did not have any trouble with sticking or scorching, but I guess it might if your crock pot is one that seems to cook hotter than normal.)
- 4. Original recipe says "Store in refrigerator for up to 6 weeks." However, I processed my jars in a boiling water bath to seal them so that it would keep for much longer (easily up to one year, if properly sealed). To "can" the apple butter (for longer non-refrigerated storage), pack into hot jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This recipe made three 12 oz. jars, so the 2nd time I made it, I doubled it. That amount could vary a little, I suppose, depending on the size of your apples. Note, when doubling the recipe, the crock pot (if it is a 5 quart one) will be VERY FULL when first getting started, so much so that I actually had to save some of the sugar mixture until the apples had cooked down some (about two hours) before I could add it in or else it would've overflowed! But as you will see, it cooks down so much that it works out just fine. Some "canning recipes" like jams and jellies recommend NOT doubling because it somehow messes up the "jelling" process so that it doesn't set up just right, even when cooking for longer amounts of time. That was not a problem with this recipe. Also, the first time I made this, I used a mixture of Cortland and Red Delicious and it was great. Second time, I used a bag of McIntosh and it was just as good. I really didn't notice a big difference, to tell you the truth, so just go with your favorite apple.
ALL-DAY APPLE BUTTER
This tasty apple butter is a real slow cooker, but well worth the wait. Depending on the sweetness of the apples used, the amount of sugar may be adjusted to taste.

AMAZING APPLE BUTTER
I decided I wanted to attempt to make apple butter for the first time, so I searched everywhere for a recipe. There were so many to choose from, that I was confused on which one to pick, so I decided to take bits and pieces from a few of the best ones and come up with my own version. The result is 'Amazing Apple Butter.'

Steps:
- Combine apples and apple juice in a stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer until apples are soft and mushy, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Spoon apples into a food mill and process into puree while discarding the cores and peels remaining in the mill. Transfer process apples to a slow cooker.
- Cook on High with the lid off until the moisture evaporates and the volume reduces by about half, overnight to 24 hours.
- Stir sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice through the apple puree.
- Continue cooking on High until mixture mounds on a chilled plate without any water separating from the edges, another 2 to 6 hours.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
