If you’ve never had apple butter before you’re missing out.It is by far and away one of the best apple recipes I have ever tasted. Thinly sliced apples are combined with a generous dose of cinnamon and sugar and then set to cook low and slow in your crockpot, combining all those delicious flavors.

The aroma as it’s cooking away is absolutely divine—the epitome of fall. And then when you blend it all together and slather it on a thick piece of toast you will be in heaven. I guarantee that after you make one batch you’ll want to make it over and over again!
