Healthy Spiced Apple Butter--- no sugar recipe

Here is some yummy fall treats today since I teased you yesterday.

Healthy Spiced Apple Butter  --- look no sugar :)
Yield:  6 cups                   Slow Cook: 16 hours
This will be fantastic on bagels, toast, biscuits and even topping for waffles.  Enjoy.

Ingredients:
8 medium apples-- winesap, gala, pink lady, granny smith or combination of two or more.  No need to peel.
2 cups of water
2 TBSP toasted sesame oil or sunflower oil or canola
2 TBSP cinnamon
2 TBSP pumpkin pie spice
2 TBSP real vanilla extract
1 TBSP sea salt
( if you feel it is not sweet enough and you must have it sweeter you could add sugar or truvia- possibly even splenda to taste.  I would try the least amt you could get away with to keep it healthy)
Directions:
1.  Cut your apples into 1 inch pieces and throw them into the slow cooker.
2.  Add water and then all of the spices and seasonings on top.
3.  Set the slow cooker for 16 hours on low.
4.  Once done, let the mixture cool for about 30 minutes.
5.  Pour into blender and blend until well done.  Do in more than one batch if your blender is not big enough to handle the entire batch at once. 

Then serve and/or store.  Store in air tight container in fridge for 1-2 weeks.  Put in freezer bag and freeze for 3-4 months.  Let thaw in fridge when ready to use.
