This delicious crockpot apple butter is completely sugar free! It’s perfect for fall and easy to make!

Like a lot of families, we recently went to the farm for a fun afternoon of apple picking. Twenty pounds of apples later, we spend the car ride thinking of all the apple treats we would be making. Of course first on my list was crockpot apple butter.

Apple butter is one of my fall favorites. I love making the apple butter in the crockpot overnight and waking up to that sweet cinnamon apple flavor.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Sugar Free Apple Butter

This recipe has no sugar!

• 3lbs apples: Fuji, Gala, and Golden Delicious are my faves! We had to use Cameo apples this year which are sweet and perfect for snacking. Due to a freeze as late as May this year, the farm only had Cameo which worked great in our apple butter.
• 1 TSP Cinnamon: You can add cinnamon if you’d like! I have added up to 2tsp.
• 1/2 TSP Nutmeg: A MUST in my apple pies making it a MUST in my apple butter.
• 1/2 TSP Ginger: Another MUST in my apple butter!
• 1/2 TSP Ground Cloves: If you use a whole clove make sure to REMOVE before the mixing step.
• 1/2 C Water
• Pinch of Salt

How to Make Crockpot Apple Butter

1. Rough chop your apples. You can leave the skin on if you’d like but I peel ahead of time.
2. Place apples in your crockpot. Add spices and 1/2 cup water. Stir together.
3. With crockpot on low, let apples cook for at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours. Yes, you can cook your apples on high in half the time, but it’s meant to be low and slow. After 8 hours you’ll notice the apples to break apart when you stir. Continue cooking if there is a lot of liquid. This can take up to 12 hours depending on your apple!
4. Use an immersion blender to blend or transfer to a food processor or stand mixer.
5. Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze!
