I love recipes where you can make several batches at once, store extras in Mason jars and give as gifts, or save for a later date! This recipe for Slow Cooker Paleo Apple Date Butter is exactly that! A thoughtful gift for friends, teachers, Postal Workers, anyone!
- Add all of the ingredients to the crock. Stir gently.
- Cover and crock on LOW 6-8 hours until apples are very soft and easy to mash.
- After cooking time, remove mixture from crock and place in food processor or blender.
- Blend until smooth, in batches, if necessary.
- Store in jars to cool, then refrigerate.
- Spread over Paleo bread, crackers, scones or use as a fruit dip.
Happy Crocking!

Since you can make several jars at a time, can this recipe be water-bath canned to preserve on the shelf? (probably a silly question, but I’m pretty new to canning….I’ve canned just one other recipe, but this one intrigued me b/c of the dates…)
Thanks for any insight!
Hi Theresa, I don’t really do much canning, so I am not able to answer this question. I’ve been asked about canning before, and would like to know the answer, so if you find out the answer I hope you will shae with all of us! 🙂
What would you change if I just wanted to make apple butter? Without the dates..
Brittany, I would eliminate the dates, and make it the same. Happy Crocking! 🙂
