SLOW COOKER APPLE BUTTER WITH HONEY



Slow Cooker Apple Butter with Honey image

The honey and brown sugar really gives the apple butter a little more depth then others I have tried. If you like a smoother apple butter, blend the apples once they are soft with a electric mixer. I like to use more then 1 variety of apples like Granny Smith and then something a little softer like fuji.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h25m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup (236 milliliters) almond milk or dairy milk, warm (105 to 110 degrees F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup (50 grams) plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground cardamom
4 1/2 cups (585 grams) all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (100 grams) flavorless oil, plus additional for oiling the bowl
1/4 cup (84 grams) honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
3/4 cup apple butter (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 ounces almond paste, grated on the big holes of a box grater or finely chopped
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups blanched almonds
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest from 1/2 lemon
6 tablespoons almond milk
Toasted sliced almonds, for topping

Steps:

  • For the rolls: Combine the milk, yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl and swirl together. Let sit until foamy on top, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cinnamon, salt, cardamom and 3 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Whisk together the eggs, oil, honey and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir the yeast mixture and oil mixture into the dry mixture and then knead, either on a work surface or with the dough hook, adding up to 1 cup more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, 15 minutes by hand and 7 to 10 minutes by mixer. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • For the filling: Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and roll it out, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking, into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread it with the apple butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon and almond paste. Roll up tightly starting from a long end (so that it results in an 18-inch-long roll), and pinch the edges to seal. Cut into 12 rolls and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (Or cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, then go right to preheating the oven.)
  • When ready to bake, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and loosen the plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature until puffy, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg with a splash of water in a cup. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish and brush the rolls with the egg wash. Bake until the rolls are lightly browned and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • For the frosting: Meanwhile, blend the blanched almonds in a food processor, scraping the sides occasionally, until creamy and spreadable, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the honey, almond extract, salt and lemon zest and continue to blend (it may clump together at this point, and that's okay) as you drizzle in the milk. Blend until creamy. (This can be made the day before and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.)
  • When the rolls come out of the oven, spread them with the frosting, sprinkle with the sliced almonds and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Use a variety of apples that are good for applesauce, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Avoid using apples that are too soft or mealy.
  • Peel and core the apples. This will help to remove the tough skin and seeds, which can make the apple butter bitter.
  • Use a slow cooker or crock pot. This is the easiest way to make apple butter, and it allows you to cook the apples low and slow, which will help to develop their flavor.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in apple butter include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. You can also add a bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Cook the apple butter until it is thick and spreadable. This can take several hours, but it is worth the wait. The longer you cook the apple butter, the thicker and more flavorful it will be.

Conclusion:

Apple butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on toast, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted chicken or pork, or as a filling for pies and pastries. Apple butter is also a great way to use up leftover apples. So next time you have a few extra apples on hand, be sure to try making apple butter. You won't be disappointed!
