For a smoother apple butter, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture after the apples have softened. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of the apples and blueberries. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as ginger or cardamom. If you don't have canning jars, you can store the apple butter in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Apples: Place the sliced apples in a slow cooker. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Initial Cook: Cook on High, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened and broken down into a chunky sauce. (Approximate cook time: 3 hours)
03 Step
Recipe View Add Blueberries and Spices: Add the fresh blueberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all ingredients. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the slow cooker temperature to Low. Simmer the mixture, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the apple butter has thickened to your desired consistency. (Approximate cook time: 8 hours)
05 Step
Recipe View Prepare Jars: Ensure your canning jars and lids are sterilized. Keep them hot until ready to fill. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Fill Jars: Carefully ladle the hot apple butter into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Use a clean spatula or knife to remove any trapped air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to ensure a good seal. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Seal Jars: Place the sterilized lids on the filled jars and screw on the rings until finger-tight.
08 Step
Recipe View Process Jars: Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil. Gently lower the filled jars into the boiling water using a jar lifter, ensuring that the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Boil and Seal: Bring the water back to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process the jars for 15 minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Cool and Check Seal: Carefully remove the jars from the stockpot and place them on a towel-lined surface to cool completely. As the jars cool, you should hear a popping sound as the lids seal. Once cooled, check the seal by pressing down on the center of each lid; it should not flex or move. (Cool time: Several hours)
11 Step
Recipe View Store: Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Properly sealed jars of Blueberry Apple Butter can be stored for up to a year.
