The Not So Skinny Cook

Another slow cooker recipe that tastes amazing! I found this on the Cooking Light website, but tweaked it (and halfed it) to suite my tastes. I have only eaten this on cinnamon rainsin toast and english muffins so far, but can imagine it on pancakes as well. Since the mixture gets strained you don’t have to peel the apples, though you could if you wanted to. Once done I split it into thirds and freeze 2/3rds of it since it only lasts one week in the fridge.

Overnight Apple Butter

Ingredients:

• 5 Apples, cored and cut in chunks
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/8 cup apple cider
• 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
• 2 dashes ground cloves
• 1 dash nutmeg

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in the crock pot
2. Cook on low for 10 hours
3. Place a fine mesh seive over a bowl. Scope 1/2 of mixture into seive and press through. Once first half is strained do the same with the second half of the mixture.
4. Return stained mixture to the slow cooker. Cook on high, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, stiring every so often.
5. Alow mixture to cook then transfer into a bowl. Lasts in fridge for up to a week, or freeze to keep for longer
