How to Prepare Slow Cooker Apple Date Butter [Vegan]
- Fill slow cooker with peeled, cored and sliced apples. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined.

- If there is too much liquid, remove lid and cook on high until thickened. Keep an eye on it and stir it occasionally to prevent burning (this all depends on your slow cooker). You can also transfer to a pot and heat on the stove until it reduces if the slow cooker isn’t doing its job.
- Transfer to canning jars and store in the refrigerator or freeze.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Some changes I would make to this recipe would be to reduce the amount of dates by half or increase the amount of apples. If you don’t want to add the dates at all, just use 2 cups of unsweetened apple juice – preferably fresh – instead. However, I thought I would end up with at least 4 pints, but only ended up with 2 1/2 pints.
