Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Recipe Description

I had no idea how easy it would be to make Slow Cooker Apple Butter! Yes there is a bit of peeling and chopping, but with the slow cooker there is no watching and stirring involved. I love making this type of recipe, where I get to keep some for my family and there is plenty to share with friends, or tuck some away in the freezer. Note, this is not a canning recipe, I am no canning expert, so I freeze any I plan not to use in the next week.

In my last post I mentioned that the weather here in Oregon has been a scorcher! Not this week, we’ve had fall-like weather, and this recipe fit well with the clouds and rain sprinkles. I started this Apple Butter at 7:00 a.m. and it was ready to be blended up at 5:00 p.m.

I am excited to officially announce that I have put in my notice at the post office. Starting August 8th, I won’t delivering mail anymore. It was a tough decision after 10 years of delivering mail, it is time for me to move on. I will be most sad about leaving my co-workers, but I will keep in touch with them forever. What is next for me? I’ve decided to give up my insurance, pension and job security at the post office and start my dream job of writing more cookbooks and working on my blog full-time. I am surprisingly feeling very optimistic about this change, and I am very excited to bring you recipes more often.
