Default Crock Pot Apple Butter

Has anyone made apple butter in the crock pot?
I have found a few recipes online, some of which call for applesauce, but I just want to use apples.
Cooks.com has a bunch, but I would like something tried and true.

I just did a batch of crock pot peach butter that turned out fabulously. I just blended them, added sugar, then left on low overnight. I haven't done apple butter yet...but would think it'd work the same.

I do it every year. I cut the apples up really small, add the sweeteners I like & simmer all day (about 12 hrs), stirring w/ a whisk every so often.

It's so yummy!

Peel, core, and chop apples. 14 Large apples fit in my crockpot. Add 1 Tbsp vanilla. Cook apples for 8 hrs on low. Massh up apples. Add 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 c white sugar, 1 c brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground up cloves. (I only add 1 c brown sugar normally that's way sweet enough!) Thwen can and process for 10 minutes.

Default Re: Crock Pot Apple Butter

I did it with plums (with a couple apples and even some local grapes thrown in) in my small crockpot a few weeks ago. http://asinglestepblog.blogspot.com/...um-butter.html Super yum! I'm going to mix some of it with a little icing sugar to sandwich between spice cookies.

Do you process it under pressure or in a water bath? And while we're talking apples and canning...can (like that pun???) you give us your apple pie filling recipe. (Amy, this is worth making too!)
