- I picture apple butter at local fall festivals: large cauldrons of apples cooking and smelling like autumn. On my farm, we even have some large brass buckets that, years ago, were used for apple butter making. Crazy right?!

Since I don’t think anyone needs 100 quarts of apple butter, this recipe is pared down and cooked in a slow cooker! All the autumn spice with amazing apple flavor. Plus it’s super easy!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 qt (approx. 8 lbs) apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 ¾ cups sugar
- 2 ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 1 star anise pod or a pinch of anise seeds (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash, core and take out the seeds from the apples. Slice into 1/2” pieces.
Measure out four quarts of apples. Pour all apples into slow cooker.
Add sugar, cinnamon, cloves, anise pod, salt, and lemon juice. Stir to incorporate everything.
Turn slow cooker on high for 4-5 hours. After the first hour, remove the star anise pod, if added. Stir the apples every so often.
Once the mixture is bubbling and cooking well (after approximately 1-2 hours), turn the slow cooker to low and leave for 10-12 hours. I usually do this in the evening so it can sit on the low setting overnight.
After ten hours, start checking the slow cooker. Stir mixture using a strong wire whisk or hand potato masher to break up the apples. Turn the cooker on high and remove the lid to cook off extra liquid.
Once the butter is the consistency desired, use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender to break down the rest of the apples to achieve an even consistency.
Let cool. Freeze or can the mixture. - Jak na to + styl
I made this today!!!!! First time ever attempting to can and it's so delicious. I followed your recipe 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I can't wait to share. Thank you 😊.
Morning Kaleb 🤗 Sent some of my Blue Ribbon Applebutter to a friend in Colorado and he used it on a pork roast while it was roasting! 😍 I had never even thought about that, but DUH, huh??!! 😉 Been making it for YEARS as well, although I cook mine in the oven in an enamel roasting pan..... for about 10 to 12 hours 😁
Apple butter is one of my favorite things. I used to make this with my Nana when I was young, which was a very very long time ago. I like the idea of the slow cooker!!
I made this last Fall and love it! I gave some the jars away to family and friends and had them rave over them!
My mother and I made our own homemade apple butter years ago. Your recipe using a slower cooker brings making it into the 21st century. Thanx, Kaleb!
I make baked apple butter oatmeal bars and I can't wait to make them with homemade apple butter! Thank you!
That sounds awesome..you need to share apple butter oatmeal bars with us! YUM
So easily explained. I used to strictly follow a recipe but after watching your video, I found the courage to just put what I felt should be in there. You make it look so easy that anyone can do it. I'm now subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos. Great job!
Thank you! My recipe and yours are basically the same. However,
I like to use a immersion blender on my crock pot apple butter.. It works well. 😉
On top of some vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt Yum thank you so much for sharing you explain so clearly
Kaleb, I just absolutely love your recipes and technique. There are so many nuances to making these classics and its like you have done them 100 times and know where the rough spots show up. I'm making apple butter on the stove as I write this and I wasn't sure if the consistency was right. Popped over the wyse guide to check. Thanks so much for all this. I'm going to grab my blender. 🎉
I can’t tell you how happy I am to find your channel… I love everything you do and the way present it .. so interesting…
What great timing for this recipe. I went out three days ago and got apples to make apple butter for a friend's birthday on October 1st. Was going to start making it today, thanks for all your tips. I especially like the one for using the slow cooker!
Apple butter is every where love
I did it followed you recipe and it turned out great and taste is delicious. Tried to send picture but wouldn’t upload.
This looks super easy! I will be dusting off my slow cooker and making some tonight. Thank you for the recipe.
I like to add Candied Ginger. Great job Kaleb!
So glad to see you back, Kaleb!
Finally, Kaleb! I have been waiting for your fall recipes--well, for all your seasonal recipes. But I'm so glad to have you back now--so exciting, yes! 👍💖
❤️ I love apple butter!! Have you ever tried using a slow cooker liner? I like that it makes clean-up easier.
I use this recipe every year. Thank you so much ❤
I just saw your recipe for zucchini chocolate cake, I'll add it to my list. Yum!

I happened upon you while looking for a pickled beet recipe. (They were delicious btw 😉) But I just subscribed to your channel! You are adorable and I really enjoy your personality and delicious recipes. Please don’t change! You’re amazing! 🤩❤️
If you don't have a blender you can use a bullet blender. That's what I use. It came out perfect.
Thank you so much! Great video 😀👍🏼

You are an amazing man and for sharing all of your recipes with the world is such a blessing and not to mention your lil family too. Stay well and forever blessed.
Hello Wyse Guide made your recipe it is delicious used different apples even from the back yard awesome recipe
Love apple butter.
This recipe is the best! And Kaleb I tried oatmeal with cut up apple and apple butter 🙌🏼😋❤️
Hey Kaleb, I'm from the little island of Jersey (just off the north coast of France, you'll have to really zoom in to find us 😊). We have a local preserve call Black Butter which is made mainly of apples. I have ripped a copy of the recipe and a short explanation of how it was made many moons ago. Having seen the variety of different recipes you whip up, I am willing to bet that this is something you may like, it is a little different but quite a hit here. I would be more than happy to send you some if you wanted to try it first..... anyhoo, here goes.... (Ripped from the BBC website and its for quite a large batch)
Local women used to get together to peel hundreds of pounds of apples whilst the men and children would gather enough wood to keep the fire going for almost two days.
The fire was usually lit in the afternoon, after which the cooking would go on all night and well into the next day. Today, there are only about four groups who still continue to make black butter.
Ingredients
10 gallons cider
700 lb sweet apples, peeled and cut
20 lb sugar
3 sticks liquorice, finely chopped
24 lemons, sliced
3 lb allspice
Method
Boil the cider until it turns to jelly. Add the apples, stirring all the time to prevent sticking. Two hours after the last batch of apples has been stirred in, add the sugar, liquorice and lemons. In the last ten minutes of cooking add the spice. Store in jars.
Sounds delicious! Thank you for taking the time to give us details. Really appreciate that!
Make a video about peeling 700lbs of apples
Sounds exciting
I love your videos! Thank you!
OMG!!! The best and you Kaleb are an absolute beautiful human!! So glad to find your channel!! Woot woot!!!
Hi Kaleb, I'm just letting ya know that I've got mine going as of an hour ago. I made apple loafs then this so we'll see how it goes later tonight. Thank you for this.
I love this apple butter recipe thank you I really enjoyed watching you with your mother making those delicious butter horns I will make them thank you so much I’ll be watching for more of your recipes thank you and may God Bless 🙏
Inspiring!✨
what a winning personality, and great applesauce recipe to boot, thx. Big like to you.
i love apple butter
A play with words... depending on where or what country you originate from huh! lol! Apple sauce, apple puree, apple butter. I was waiting to see at what stage u would add a dollop of butter hehehe 😉😁.
Loved it. The time here in New Zealand is 7.52am. First day of Daylight Savings. Have a blessed. day.
Yummy.
Love you, love your haircut.
Love apple butter! Gonna try leaving skins on this year, will definitely save time! 😁🍎🧈❤
I love your videos, and you. I have that same slow cooker. It's fabulous.
What kind of slow cooker is it?
Please make healthy delicious date/nut butter recipes and cookies next! ☺️
I made it and we couldn't stop eating it. I was about to distinguish the peels and will leave them out next time. I didn't have brown sugar on hand so I added 1/2 cup molasses. Great video!
I just learned that you can make homemade brown sugar by adding 1-2 TBSP. of Molasses to every 1 C. Pure Cane Sugar (white sugar) They say it doesn't get hard like store bought brown sugar does. You have to keep it in an air tight container.
I love you're slow cooker
Do you have a link to where I can get one? It's beautiful
Did anybody reduce the sugar? Will it be jammy if I reduce it by 1/2?
Hi thank you for sharing your recipe. If I don't have a slow cooker, can I make in the oven?
What are the best apples to use? I'd love to try this. BTW,love all your videos; you're very creative. You actually just answered my question, but how able McIntosh?
My friend taught me to put in crock the night before, all ingredients, and start when you get up in the morning when you leave for work. It softened down overnight. I also cut back on the sugar to just a little under two cups, made a few times with splenda. Love the anise idea also. My friend swears if you have this on during a open house you'll sell faster.lol
Glad to have found your fun slow cooker apple butter recipe. I was about to cook it on the stove! Now how am I t find that star anise? Lol! Love that you also included the recipe and directions in your description box. Also just FYI I'm a little confused about one part if the directions. High 4-5 hours then turn to low or after 2 hours? Thanks!
I’m guessing that the time and temperature don’t matter much, since your video is different than your recipe. However, it’s a bit confusing with the inconsistency. Just found your channel. So far great videos.
I love your Videos. I Watch them all the way from Germany and Enjoy them all.
By the way can you tell me the capacity of your slow cooker?
Greetings from Marco
I would have thought an immersion blender would have worked better - no ladling required. Apple butter is also a big thing in Southwest NY - we have lots of orchards as well, so maybe that's it. The local museum where I grew up had a history camp where we made it in those big brass buckets, I agree the slow cooker is easier!
I can leave the peel on?
How long does the apple butter last in the fridge?
Can anyone suggest what we could use instead of sugar… maybe honey or something healthier . (Genuine Maple syrup is not readily available in South Africa) and you have measurements I would appreciate that as well . Thank so much
I haven't acid reflux and I have to really be careful the acidity and I also have to be careful of my sodium intake. I also am taking a I think you call them beta blockers for high cholesterol. So I really have to watch brown sugar is there something I can use in place of brown sugar to make the apple butter?
You could probably sub with coconut sugar
What does the 10 minute water bath at the end do?
Makes it safe to eat and seals the jar. Basically a canning technique.
Ohhh... this looked so good, I had to try it! Done - so darn tasty! And jarred up nicely for Christmas presents! My neighbour who got my first jar, JUST LOVES IT! I've just had a call from an older German lady - I popped a little bag with a jar of Apple Butter & some crocheted 'snowflakes' on her doorstep this afternoon (she was out) to say she'd had a try of it & it is so very tasty! Can she have the recipe! SUCCESS!! Now... big question - do I give those other 'ear-marked' jars away or do I keep 'em??? Thank you for the recipe! And for the instruction! You made it seem really easy - and it was! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
There was this one older lady I knew, she's has passed on, but she thought that apple butter was apples mixed in real butter. But she never heard of it so didn't know.
Hello hello
