Recipe Summary Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Butter
Apple butter with a creamy caramel saltiness. I like to use mixed apples. The longer the apple butter cooks, the darker it gets, and the smaller the yield.Ingredients | Apple Spice Dump Cake Slow Cooker6 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes2 cups brown sugar2 teaspoons ground cinnamon½ teaspoon ground allspice¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground cloves2 (11 ounce) packages individually wrapped caramels, unwrappedDirectionsCombine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cloves in a slow cooker.Cook on High until apples are tender enough to easily mash with a fork, 3 to 5 hours. Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.Microwave unwrapped caramels in a microwave-safe dish until melted, about 30 seconds. Add to slow cooker and cook for 1 to 2 hours.Inspect ten 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for at least 5 minutes. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanupInfo | Apple Spice Dump Cake Slow Cookerprep:
