Slow-Cooker Apple Butter Recipe

Apple Butter recipes don't come any better than this. It has the BIG three: Quick, Easy, Delicious!

For the perfect bread to pair with your apple butter, choose homemade. I enjoy a little apple butter with Whole Wheat-Banana Muffins, Spiced Pumpkin Bread (WW), and Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. What is your favorite bread-apple butter pairing?
