Ingredients

• 5 Medium Apples (I use Fuji Apples but Granny Smiths are good too)
• 1 Can (15oz) of Pumpkin Puree (Like Libby's Pure Pumpkin - do NOT use Pumpkin Pie Filling)
• 1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar *see note in post
• 1 Tablespoon of Ground Cinnamon
• 2 Teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice Seasoning
• 1/2 Teaspoon of All Spice Seasoning
• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Peel, core, and chop apples into small pieces.
Spray slow cooker pot with cooking spray.
Put chopped apples into crock pot with all the remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined and the apples are coated.
Cook on low for six hours.
Stir during the cooking time. If you notice the butter burning on the edges, add up to 1/2 cup of water, but only adding 1/4 cup at a time, as needed.
Smooth the butter out with a potato masher, but if you want it completely smooth, you can run it through a blender or just let it cook down longer than 6 hrs.
