Slow Cooker Sunday: Apple Butter

This is a very simple apple butter recipe that can be made while you are sleeping. This can be used on biscuits and crackers or just about anything.

Its that time of year when apples are in season. I am not sure when its officially fall. The leaves are still on my trees but the temperature is not as oppressively hot as it has been. I really like fall. Its all about cooler weather, sweaters, campfires, pumpkins and apple cider. Its also about apple butter. Back in the day, apple butter was cooked and stirred in a pot for hours and hours.

Now with our trusty slow cooker we can just let something simmer while we do other things. I consider my slow cooker and my cast iron skillet the work horses of my kitchen. I do love to give this apple butter away as gifts during the Advent season.
