Thick, creamy, and sweet Slow Cooker Apple Butter with no peeling required! All those freshly picked apples cooked down in the crock-pot for a perfect sweet and aromatic spread recipe that's gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and allergy-free!

I did it guys! The long awaited APPLE BUTTER! I am so excited to share the whole story with you...finally! Now you can make this bundt cake with some proper "butter" and I get to tell you about my apple picking experience (if you can even call it that!) This apple butter is not as quick as the slow cooker pumpkin butter I'll be sharing next week, but it IS just as delicious (so it's worth it!)

But before the recipe, let's talk about apple picking! (Photos for proof!) My mom picked me up early in the morning a few Saturdays ago, early so we could beat the seasonal crowds and get a head start before the "kiddos" and their families take over the orchard. No matter, there were still people there picking apples, grabbing fresh apple cider, but we did beat most of the crowds. I'd been apple picking once or twice before when I was younger and I remember hating the apples when we brought them home because they didn't have the "waxy" shine on them like they do at the stores! Haha, if only I knew better back then!

A lot of the rows were picked clean! Literally no Fuji in sight, but the Cortland and Red Delicious were plentiful! I'm pretty sure my 6lbs of apples were a combo of Cortland, Red Delicious, Macoun, Jonagold, and Empire (I think). Note that you can have any combo of 6lbs of apples for this recipe. Anything sweet (i.e. not Granny Smith!) We were done gathering the apples in like 20 minutes and then we headed back to pay and of course pick up some cute baby pumpkins from the market store! After all these years of wanting to go apple picking, it was a bit lackluster, but hey, I got what I came for (and felt very fall-esque!)

All those apples I brought home, reduced down to just about 4-5 cups of apple butter! To make apple butter you're basically making my slow cooker applesauce, blending it up smooth, and then cooking it down again. This entire process takes about 8-10 hours depending. The apple butter thickens up even more overnight once you put it away in the fridge, so I stopped mine at 9 hours because...I had to go to sleep!

Did I mention there is NO peeling required for this apple butter? That would be a sad nutrient and food waste! You just need to cut the apples up into chunks (cut out the stem and seeds), throw them in a wide and large slow cooker with some sugar and spices, and let it do its thing! You don't have to babysit this all day, but you do need to watch it and mix every so often. I cook this on high so we don't want anything to burn! Read the recipe fully and you'll understand! I'm giving you the low (almost no) sugar version in the notes as well; your call!

Spread this on toast, bagels, use it for sandwiches, swirl it in oatmeal, and of course that bundt! Don't forget to gift some for a special loved one in your life too 😉 Now, with apple butter and the pumpkin butter I'll be sharing next week, the last thing I need to do this season is...PEAR BUTTER! Be on the lookout my fruit butter friends 😉

So tell me:

+ Have you done apple picking yet this year? Do you make it a tradition?

    Slow cooker apple butter, where have you been all my life?!? ❤️ My husband and I have made apple butter almost every year of our 42 years of marriage.We would cook apples, run through the Squeezo, and cook again! I can hardly believe how easy this was! The texture is perfect! Thank you for revolutionizing our process!

    As I was beginning to peel apples when looking at another recipe for apple butter, I thought what a shame to lose the nutrients and pectin from the peels. Did a google search and found this recipe plus so much more on Celiac and food allergies.
    It is now finishing the process in the crock pot, and I am already eating some!
    The taste, texture and spices are perfect. This is my first time making apple butter, and thanks to this recipe, won't be the last!

    I really wanted to post that I made this... I halved it due to only having 3lbs of apples, but I followed it directly. I look to see comments of results and I saw lots of "looks" yummy, but few results. This recipe is absolutely fabulous and easy!! I posted a photo as well. Mine turned out so smooth with the use of my immersion blender at the 4 hour point. I can't imagine why anyone would go through all that trouble to peel their apples. I paid $2 for my apples and created a priceless batch of Apple butter that could never be found on a shelf in a package. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge!!

    I had to go to my oldest son’s football game right after the blending stage, so I put it on low so it won’t burn while I’m gone, and I’m going to be putting it through a water bath canning process when done. I’ll let you know how that works out for us.

        I’m eating my delicious apple butter on toast right now, and I just remembered that I didn’t update on how it worked out for me. Putting it on low during the football game worked out great, I stirred it when I got back and it was the perfect consistency. I was actually able to get nearly 8 1/2 pint jars this way and they worked great in the water bath so I can ship them to out of town family and store for up to a year, like they’re going to last that long (😉)!

            I still have a couple small jars and they’re still delicious! In my second batch I cut the sugar in half because my kids said it was a little on the sweet side. Yes, I used a water bath to can them. This comment made me remember that I NEED to make another batch!

    I actually just went apple picking this past Sunday! I ended up picking more apples than I needed and was looking for a good recipe to use them for. This is perfect!

    Even though the cook time (cooking without watching is the best! love crockpots) is long, this is such a simple method and so much cheaper that what you would get at the store. Plus it's satisfying because you know it came right from your kitchen. Great tip about using the skins for added nutrients. great recipe!

    What a lovely recipe (although I admit, I'd use sugar) - I bet it's great on buckwheat porridge!

      You must go before the season ends! Even though it was super quick and fast (if you aren't with a bunch of friends I'm assuming) it was still worth it!
