“This bourbon apple butter is simmered in bourbon then slow cooked in a crockpot to develop deep, rich flavors and a thick buttery texture. Delicious on toast, a tasty filling for puffed pastry, and it freezes well for later!”
9. After 4 hours, stir the apple butter. Replace the lid so that it is vented to allow steam to escape. It works well to rest it on chopsticks. Set the slow cooker on low for three hours.
10. Test the apple butter to see if it's done by spooning a small amount on to a plate. If liquid seeps away, it needs more time to cook. Allow it to continue cooking on low with a vented lid, stirring and testing every 15 minutes.
11. When it is done, prepare it for short term storage in the fridge or freezer by bringing the temperature down to room temperature and placing it in fridge or freezer safe containers. It will keep 2 weeks in the fridge and 6 months in the freezer.
