This is the last week of school until after Thanksgiving! The kids are going to take their teachers a treat to enjoy during the holidays...
Apple Butter
It is super easy to make and taste delicious and delightful!
{Not to mention how marvelous your house will smell while this simmers away!} Jody and Banks stopped at the farmers market Saturday morning and bought these beauties from a local orchard...
I had high hopes of taking the kids to the actual orchard this fall but we never made it! Maybe next year!
First you...
...core and slice 16 apples.
{I did a few extra because I had some hands that kept wondering through my kitchen "sneaking" slices.} Then you...
...dice them up into your crock pot. Add...
...some sugar and spice and everything nice. Then you...
...mix it all up and turn your crockpot on HIGH for 2 hours. After 2 hours, it will look like this...
Turn it down to low and let it cook away for 6 more hours, stirring occasionally. When it is done cooking, it will look like this...
I use my hand held blender to...
...blend it up to my desired consistency right in the crock pot bowl.
Then I place my
HOT apple butter into my
HOT jars and listen for them to seal! I got 12 half pints out of those 16 apples.
I printed some stickers and wrapped them up for our teachers! We hope they enjoy them on some hot buttered biscuits during the break!

Yum! I am about to eat some on an english muffin! I would love to make some...I need to get your recipe. How did you heat your jars...water bath?
Did you process the jars in a water bath and can you store it in a pantry or will it need to be refrigerated?
