SUGAR FREE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER

Another Graham Kerr wonder! From his cookbook "Simply Splenda". In his words, "This is dense, thick and dark brown, just like my grandmother made. The apple peels are left on to add pectin." **** Cooks Note: Apple butter can be used in baking - can replace up to 1/2 of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients. You may need to reduce sugar in recipes since the apple butter is already sweetened. . P.S. It's also wonderful on plain old toast or waffles!

SUGAR FREE APPLE BUTTER

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Low/No Sugar

Number Of Ingredients 6

8-12 medium-sized apples or a combination of apples and ripe pears
1/2 cup honey (optional)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Rinse apples, core, and slice. Don't peel. Put in crock pot along with honey, water, and cinnamon and turn on low 12 hours or over night. At this point you will have apple sauce. Puree in the crockpot with a stick blender, or transfer to a food processor or blender and puree. Return to the crock pot and cook on the lowest setting (I use 'keep warm') with the lid cracked to allow steam to escape for another 4-6 hours, stirring once every couple hours. This will darken and thicken the apple butter. Spoon into jars and keep in the refrigerator, freezer, or can using a water bath method to keep in the pantry.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute water or apple juice.
  • Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the apples.
  • Use a slow cooker or a large pot on low heat to simmer the apple butter until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Stir the apple butter frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Taste the apple butter as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Transfer the apple butter to clean jars and seal them tightly.
  • Store the apple butter in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Sugar-free apple butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be spread on toast, crackers, or waffles, or used as a glaze for chicken or pork. It can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies for a sweet and nutritious boost. With its natural sweetness and rich flavor, sugar-free apple butter is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional apple butter.
