Teri, great question! I’ve added directions for cooking the apple butter on your stove. Check out the steps under “Stovetop Method” above. Thanks for asking, ~Eliza

I love this recipe and it had great flavor! The instructions were easy to follow and specific regarding the type of apples to use and great tips to improve the outcome. This was my first time making apple butter and I am thrilled with the results! Thank you for this recipe!!

Maggie, great question. Yes, you can freeze the apple butter in the jars! Make sure the apple butter is completely cooled, and leave about 1/2 inch headspace at the top of the jar for expansion in the freezer. Apple butter freezes well and will last about 4 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying it. ~Eliza

Made this without peeling the apples. Took a good 10 hrs in the slow cooker. I could have used less brown sugar but overall this was fantastic. On a side note, I used some of the apple butter in my butternut squash soup and it was great!
