Start by peeling, coring, and chopping your apples.

Place the chopped apples in the slow cooker and add the sugar, spices, and lemon juice.

Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for 4 hours.

Every hour, give the mixture a gentle stir.

Once the cooking time is up, use a blender or immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.

After blending, return the apple mixture to the slow cooker.

Let the apple butter cook on low for another hour, uncovered.

Once your apple butter has reached the desired thickness, transfer it to sterilized jars.

Seal them tightly and let them cool before storing.
