Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Butter

Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Butter

This recipe for apple butter is a bit different than your average slow cooker apple butter because it contains the additions of caramels which adds a nice sweetness and creaminess to the flavor of the apple butter.

My favorite way to eat apple butter is spooned over yogurt for breakfast or over vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.

But my kids love it inside a peanut butter and apple butter sandwich or spread on their morning toast.


This is a canning recipe so that you can preserve this apple butter and enjoy it all year around. I have included basic water bath canning instructions. But if you are a beginner canner I highly suggest you check out the comprehensive book that is put out by Ball (the makers of the most popular canning jars in America) – Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving

High Altitude Water Bath Canning:

And if you are canning this recipe above sea level you will need to process your jars a bit longer.

  • 1,001 – 3,000 feet above sea level – process this recipe for an additional 5 minutes.
  • 3,001 – 6,000 feet above sea level – process this recipe for an additional 10 minutes.
  • 6,001 – 8,000 feet above sea level – process this recipe for an additional 15 minutes.
  • 8,001 – 10,000 feet above sea level – process this recipe for an additional 20 minutes.

    That looks yummy and easy! I was wondering though, what can I use if I don’t have a food mill?

      Hi Courtney! If you do not have a food mill, you could just peel the apples ever so slightly and you wouldnt have those solid pieces and then smoosh the apples really good. Or if you have a food processor, you can cool the apple mixture and then place them in there and blend them real good into a puree (with or without the peels). The food processor would then assure that you do not have solid pieces.

    This crock-pot caramel apple butter is delicious. My husband is super picky and he gives it a 9.5 out of 10 rating. I personally think it tastes like pumpkin pie (I know crazy), but my husband says he can definitely taste the apples. I did use two bags of caramels since with one it wasn’t very flavorful.

    Is it okay to use the caramel easy melt balls that you find in the spice/sugar section? TIA

      Hi Victoria, while we have not tested this recipe using the caramel easy melt balls I see no reason why that would not work in this recipe. In fact, that would save a lot of time unwrapping all of those caramels! Good idea!

      If you give it a try, be sure to come back and let us know how it turned out for you!
