Step 1
Peel, core and cut apples into chunks. In a large Dutch oven set over medium heat, add apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 min., until apples are tender.
Step 2
Using an immersion blender, puree apples until smooth (or puree mixture in food processor).
Step 3
Transfer mixture to slow cooker. Cook 4 to 6 hr. on HIGH, stirring every hr., or until mixture is deep amber in colour. Cool completely.
Step 4
Transfer to airtight containers. Store refrigerated up to 5 days (or freeze up to 1 month). To preserve apple butter in canning jars, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
