Overnight Crockpot Apple Butter
This recipe comes to Taste of Nova Scotia from Halifax photographer/food blogger Kelly Neil. She recommends apple butter dolloped on homemade granola, on pancakes or French toast, on ice cream, on cake, on toast or by itself with a spoon.
Ingredients
| 1 cup | dark brown sugar |
| 1 | lemon (juice from half) |
| 2 tbsp | water |
| 1.5 tsp | pumpkin pie spice |
| 5 | apples (we recommend: Noggins Corner Farm Market, Stirling Fruit Farms, Masstown Market or Scotian Gold Co-operative) |
| 1 tsp | sea salt |
| 0.5 tsp | cinnamon |
| 1 tsp | vanilla |
Directions
- In a large bowl toss chopped apples with brown sugar, lemon juice and water to coat – place in crockpot and cook on low overnight.
- The next morning, stir in pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, cinnamon and vanilla – cook 2 hours more with lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape – jar and eat.
