Slow Cooker Apple-Pumkin Butter
Apple-Pumpkin butter is made in the slow cooker, developing a rich and deep flavor that screams fall. Perfect stirred into oatmeal or spread on pancakes, this apple-pumpkin butter is extremely versatile.
And did I mention it’s super easy to make too? Made over two days, it’s a fix it and forget it kind of recipe. The first day apples are cooked down into a simple apple sauce. The second day, the apples are cooked again but this time with pureed pumpkin, apple pie spices and maple sugar. The result is intoxicating. It’s like being drunk on Autumn… you’re house will never smell better.
A few notes: I use the entire apple forgoing peeling as that’s where so much of the nutrients hang out. Because of that, I highly recommend using organic apples if you can. I also use maple sugar as my sweetener because the maple is so complimentary to the other flavors. You can find it at Trader Joes or online. Any sugar or sweetener will work just fine if that’s all you can find.
I did a guest post on the Hamilton Beach blog yesterday, Every Day Good Thinking, where you can find the recipe in it’s entirety. I love my Hamilton Beach slow cooker like you wouldn’t believe. Check back later in the month for a giveaway! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Absolutely delicious and I love that you did it in a slow cooker!
I LOVE Crock Pot Apple Butter (my #1 biggest post on my blog too) – I think this addition of Pumpkin with the Apples will have to be this year’s take on this classic. THANKS for sharing, I will be sharing with my readers too 🙂
This recipe looks amazing! I use my hamilton beach slow cooker so much, in fact it’s out today so I can make my chili this morning and go play all day and not worry about dinner tonight ; ) Yeh me!
I love the slow cooker… it might be my favorite kitchen appliance!

Thank you
how long does it the butter keep for? Where do you store it? It looks amazing! I live in FL so in order to feel like it’s actually fall, I have to make lots of fall recipes;)
The apple butter will keep in the fridge for about a month. You can freeze it too- and use it up within 6 months or so.
I’ve gotta get a new slow cooker. My old one just doesn’t work well. I keep hearing Hamilton Beach is great. What features does everyone like most?
And oh man when I get one, this recipe will be top of the list!
I love my Hamilton Beach slow cooker. The one I have is great because it’s programable + I can use the insert right on the stove top to brown meat and then throw it in the slow cooker. Here is a link to the one I have. Check back later in the month as I’m giving one away!
The apple- pumpkin butter looks divine! I would love to can this. Would you be able to process in a water-bath?
Because of the pumpkin, it’s not a recipe suitable for canning. It can, however, be frozen for up to 6 months!
I love crockpot recipes using apples–this looks fabulous!
Thanks, Julia! It’s one of my favorite fall recipes- perfect for slathering on just about anything!!
I can just smell the aroma of this fabulous apple pumpkin butter now! It looks divine – Pass me a hot biscuit and this awesome butter!!!
You bring the biscuits, I’ll bring the butter!
Well, this is pure genius! I’d never think to make butter in a slow cooker! LOVE!
Any way you could put this with tator tots? THAT would be genius!
Ooooh I could put this on anything! Love that it can be made right in the slow cooker too!
Soo darn easy, it’s criminal!
Two of my favorite fall flavors! And I LOVE that this is made in the slow cooker. Putting it on my list to try this fall. 🙂
I am ALL for getting drunk on Autumn cause, ya know, I freaking LOVE Autumn!
Why should we choose between apples or pumpkin anyway if we like them both! I do at least. This is perfection.
looks great stranger. MISS YOU
Miss you too!!
Next week…this is in my crockpot. I am so excited!
Just wondering if anyone know’s how much apple-pumpkin butter this makes? I am making it as a favor for a baby shower coming up and am wondering if I need to double it…
It made 5 pints.
Will be nice to have the recepie.
The link to the recipe is at the bottom of the page!

There is a link in the actual post. HERE it is for convenience!
Hello I was wondering if you could use honey instead of maple? I dont care for maple.
Yes, of course!
I’d like to see your apple butter in crock pot recipe.
I think it would make a slow richer recipe
