Sugar-Free Crock Pot Apple Butter

Apple butter is made in the crock pot, using cherry-pomegranate juice, cinnamon, & artificial sweetener (for cooking & baking) instead of sugar.

Ingredients:

• 10-12 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 2 cups cherry-pomegranate juice
• 1 cup Splenda for cooking & baking
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Place apples in crock pot. Add juice and cook, covered, on high for 2-3 hours. Mash apples. Place lid on, but leave enough space for steam to vent. Cook an additional 4-5 hours or until thick. Add Splenda and cinnamon. Cool and store in refrigerator to use within 2-3 weeks.

Number of Servings: 3-4 small jars

Notes from the Cook: Back where I come from we always had fried biscuits with apple butter. This recipe takes a new twist on an old favorite, making it more healthy.
