Peel the apples (optional) and chop them into coarse pieces, placing the cores and peels aside.

Add the chopped apples to a medium-sized crock pot.

Pour in 1.5 cups of timber or sugar and 1 cup of cane sugar.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoons of cloves, and 0.5 teaspoons of nutmeg to the crock pot.

Add 1 capful of apple cider and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Stir all ingredients together until well combined.

Cover the crock pot and set it to low for 10 hours, stirring occasionally throughout the day.

After cooking, prepare jars and lids by ensuring they are clean and ready to use.

Blend the mixture in batches using a blender (like a Nutribullet), being careful as it will be hot.

Transfer the blended apple butter into mason jars, tapping down to remove air bubbles and cleaning the edges.

Seal the jars tightly and store in the fridge for up to a month or can for up to a year.
