Instructions
Crockpot
- Slice the apples and remove the seeds. There’s no need to remove the peels for this recipe which saves a lot of time!
- Add the sugars, spices, and juice and stir it all together.
- Put on the lid and set it to low for 10 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the lid, use a hand blender or stand-up blender to blend it to a smooth consistency. You may have to do it in batches if you’re using a regular blender.
- Keeping the lid off, set the heat back to low (which may say 10 hours), set a timer, and cook for another 2 hours. Stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
