Instructions

  1. Slice apples into 1 x 1 chunks and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Splenda Stevia, spices, salt and vanilla. Toss together.
  2. Pour apples into a crockpot or slow-cooker, using a spatula to scrape all of the spices into the slow cooker as well. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until apples are falling apart and fork-tender.
  3. Carefully scoop cooked apples into a high-powered blender (alternatively, use an immersion blender) blending until it’s the consistency you like in an apple butter (smooth or slightly chunky).
  4. Let Homemade Apple Butter cool, then scoop it into jars. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Note

  • Stir some into your morning oatmeal, spread it on whole grain toast, or add as a glaze to your roast beef, turkey, or ham.
  • How much Splenda Stevia you need will depend on how naturally sweet the apples are. Adjust sweetener after blending your apples, adding more if necessary.
