Apple butter is basically just super concentrated, super smooth applesauce. Apple butter is not just perfect on your morning toast or served on Potato Rolls at Thanksgiving, you can even bake with it. At first I was little bit intimidated by the whole homemade fruit butter thing, but really it could not have been easier thanks to my apple peeler and slow cooker.
I tossed everything into the slow cooker, set the timer for 10 hours and went about my day. The autumnal scents of apples, cinnamon and vanilla wafted around the whole place for an entire day, which improved my mood immensely. I let the apples simmer away for the allotted 10 hours, and in the meantime made chili, cornbread, and even prepped my jars for gift giving.
Generally speaking, softer varieties of apples such as Fuji, Golden Delicious, McIntosh, or Jonagold work better since they cook down faster. I used a mix of Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp in my apple butter, and even the crisper varieties broke down well for a smooth apple butter. The real key is to use a mix of apples to get the best flavor.
