Well, I have to do something with my apples today. I'm going to make some dumplings using low fat Pilsbury crescent rolls, splenda and brown sugar. I'll make a sauce with SF Smuckers Caramel sauce to go over them.
The rest will go into the crockpot for apple butter.
Basic recipe for apple butter
Apples - cut and peeled
Cinnamon
Splenda
Optional spices - nutmeg, allspice, cloves
Put all this in your crock and cook for 10 or more hours. Dont take the lid off. About halfway through, smoosh 'em real good. Otherwise try to resist peaking. Did you know you lose 30 minutes of cooking time everytime you take the lid off your slow cooker?
I have seen a few recipes that add vinegar. I have never used this and not sure what it contributes. My apple butter always turns out good without it.
I also like to use some sugar free cinnamon syrup (DaVinci brand) to give it a little more "hot cinnamon" taste. Like those little cinnamon red hot candies. Remember those?http://www.ferrarapan.com/html/rh_history.html
