Ingredients
  

  • 5.5 lbs soft, sweet apples Cored and chopped into small pieces, about ¼"
  • 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 vanilla bean may substitute 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Slice apples into small pieces (about ¼") and dispose of cores (you do not need to peel the apples).
  2. Place apples in the basin of large slow cooker.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl stir together sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cloves until well-combined.
  4. Pour sugar mixture over apple pieces and stir until well combined.  Place lid on crockpot and cook on low heat for 10 hours.
  5. Once 10 hours has elapsed, use an immersion blender to puree apples until smooth and no chunks remain (see note 2 if you do not have an immersion blender).
  6. Scrape the inside of the vanilla bean into your apple puree (or add vanilla extract).
  7. Turn crockpot on to low heat and cook another 2 hours uncovered, stirring occasionally.
  8. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, where it will keep about 2 weeks.
