Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Butter
I made this and had my oldest daughter test it out. She decided she wanted just this for a snack. This does take most of a day to make unless you start to cook the apple before going to bed. Put in pretty little jelly jars and put a ribbon around them and put in baskets for gifts! Great on toast, crackers, in place of regular jelly in a PB&J or just from the bowl!

Oh that looks so good Katie!
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.
about how many caramels were in the bag you used? what type did you use? Looks so yummy!
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.
