Ingredients:
• 4 pounds apples, diced
• 2 cups apple cider
• 1/2 cup real maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch salt
In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the apples, apple cider, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Cover and cook on low for 12 hours stirring every couple of hours.
Transfer the apples to a blender and puree until smooth. Cool and store in glass jars in the fridge for up to 1 month. If you choose to can the butter as I did, they can be canned by boiling in a water bath for 10 minutes.
