Fall Pumpkin Apple Butter Crockpot Recipes

APPLE-PUMPKIN BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel, core, and chop apples; set apple chunks aside, reserving peels and cores. Combine peels, cores, and 2 cups apple cider in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine chopped apples, sugar, remaining cider, and cinnamon stick in a large, non-aluminum saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to fall apart, 20 to 40 minutes.
• Press peel-core mixture through a food mill or sieve placed over a bowl to catch juice. Reserve juice and discard peels and cores. Add juice to cooked apples in the saucepan and return mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until thick, 40 to 60 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Stir in pumpkin.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Pour apple-pumpkin mixture into a large, shallow roasting pan.
• Place roasting pan into the preheated oven, leaving door slightly ajar. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until thick enough to spread, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Inspect 6 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until apple-pumpkin butter is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Spoon apple-pumpkin butter into sterilized jars leaving 1/2-inch head space. Wipe rims and threads clean; top with hot lids and screw bands on firmly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

CROCKPOT APPLE PUMPKIN BUTTER RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Peel, core, and chop apples into small pieces. Spray slow cooker pot with cooking spray. Put chopped apples into crock pot with all the remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined and the apples are coated. Cook on low for six hours. Stir during the cooking time. If you notice the butter burning on the edges, add up to 1/2 cup of water, but only adding 1/4 cup at a time, as needed. Smooth the butter out with a potato masher, but if you want it completely smooth, you can run it through a blender or just let it cook down longer than 6 hrs.
