Apple butter is something that my Dad and I absolutely love on biscuits, waffles, toast and more. I didnt realize how easy it was to make home apple butter.
Now that fall is here in Maryland, it is time to focus on crockpot meals, fall recipes and decorating for fall. What’s your favorite season?
Here in Maryland, at least where I am, we have absolutely beautiful falls. With the humidity that we experience in the Summer going away and the chilly nights that are perfect for bonfires and hoodies, it is amazing!
Fall is my favorite which is why I am always cooking something, or baking something fall related including this Crockpot Apple Butter.

How Do You Make Crockpot Apple Butter?
After you’ve grabbed all of your ingredients and prepped the apples, its time to get this delicious recipe into your crockpot.
If you haven’t already peeled, cored and sliced the apples, go ahead and do that and spray your crockpot with non stick cooking spray.
Place the apples into the crockpot and spread out evenly.
Now, let’s add the seasonings which is just a few ingredients, remember?
Add the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Toss the apples until all are completely coated.
Let’s start the crockpot! Turn your crockpot on low and cook for about 10 hours. You’ll want to stir occasionally but it is not needed.
This is the kind of recipe that you can just start and let go. Plus, your house is going to smell amazing!
After 10 hours, the apple butter will be dark and thickened. Grab your whisk and thoroughly stir. This will make it more smooth!
What Kind of Apples are best?
Any kind of apple will work great for apple butter. However, soft apples work best. Choose varieties like Braeburn, Cortland, Fuji and McIntosh for the best results.
You can also ask the local farmer for recommendations on which apples would be best. If you already have apples on hand, go ahead and use them. You can use any kind you’d like.
How do I store the Apple Butter?
Store this apple butter in an airtight container or jar for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. I prefer to use Ball Jars for storage.
Can the apple butter be frozen?
Yes, take it out of the crockpot and put it in your storage jar. For this, I do prefer glass storage jars. Then, freeze what you’d like. Be sure to leave about an inch of room at the top of your containers or jars. Freeze for up to a year.
How can I enjoy the apple butter?
Oh there are SO many ways you can enjoy this delicious apple treat. You can spread it on:
- Toast or croissants
- Biscuits
- Waffles
What’s the difference between Applesauce and Apple Butter?
Applesauce and apple butter are both made using a similar process, but they’re quite different. Applesauce you make by slow cooking your apples with water spices and some sugar for a shorter amount of time. Apple butter uses a similar process but is cooked much longer and slower so that the mix cooks down even further!
