Reply #1: I make apple butter often. [View All]

I cut up the apples, with the peels on, and put them in my crockpot. I squeeze fresh oranges over them and then lay the orange peels on top while they are cooking down. Then I remove the peels and mash the apples, add the brown sugar and spices and let them keep cooking down.

I don't have measurements because I just eyeball it. Doing it in the crockpot is easy and it lets you do other things without being chained to the stove.

Hope yours is really delicious! It sure is nice to have it around for toast, PBJs, and I also use it in some of my baking for flavor and moisture.
