Ingredients

• 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup Apple cider
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Edible gold glitter

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large slow cooker, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and apple cider.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves, and stir to coat the apples evenly with the spices and sugars.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and a deep amber color develops.

Step 5

Once the apples are fully cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture directly in the slow cooker until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches, then return it to the slow cooker.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and continue cooking (uncovered) on low heat for an additional 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the apple butter to clean, sterilized jars, leaving a bit of headspace at the top. While the apple butter is still warm, sprinkle in the edible gold glitter and gently swirl to distribute it evenly for a touch of sparkle.

Step 8

Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Step 9

Serve your Glitter’s Apple Butter Delight as a spread on toast, a biscuit topping, or as a complement to charcuterie boards. Enjoy the magical hint of shimmer!
