Ingredients

3 pounds chopped apples
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup water
1-2 tablespoons golden monk fruit, brown sugar, or honey optional

Instructions

Core, peel, and dice the apples. Then, zest a lemon.
Add the chopped apples, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and water to a slow cooker. Thoroughly mix all of the ingredients and put the lid on the slow cooker.
Cook the apples for 5 hours on high or 10 hours on low. If you want your apple butter to be thicker after that, leave the lid off to absorb water for 1-2 hours. Make sure to continue cooking the apples and stir occasionally until the desired consistency is achieved.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the apples into apple butter or leave them chunky. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can puree them in the blender. Just let them cool first. This apple butter tastes amazing as is, but feel free to add about 1 TBSP of golden monk fruit, brown sugar, or honey if you would like. Enjoy!
