Homemade Apple Butter
  1. Cook the apples: Place chopped apples and cider in a large pot or slow cooker. Cover and cook until apples are very soft (about 25-30 minutes on the stove, or 3-4 hours on high in a slow cooker).

  2. Blend: Use an immersion blender to purée until smooth (or transfer carefully to a blender in batches).

  3. Spice and sweeten: Stir in brown sugar, spices, and salt.

  4. Slow cook: Simmer uncovered over low heat (or on low in a slow cooker) for 2-3 hours, stirring often, until thickened and dark brown.

  5. Finish: Stir in vanilla. Let cool before transferring to jars.
