This traditional Southern apple butter is prepared effortlessly in a slow cooker. Fresh apples are simmered with apple cider for hours until tender, then blended with sugar and warm spices. The result is a thick, deeply flavoured spread perfect for toast, scones, or as a filling. It yields approximately 8 cups and can be stored in the fridge, frozen, or sealed in jars for longer keeping.
