Homemade Pumpkin Apple Butter

Fall Fall Fall! I love Fall! Crunchy leaves, all things pumpkin flavor and cool crisp weather (except in sunny San Diego where we are having a Santa Ana heatwave this weekend!)

With pumpkin on the brain (and an abundance of apples) I set out to try a new Fall recipe. Okay, so it's not exactly a NEW recipe, but I've never made it before so that counts, right?!

This Pumpkin Apple Butter was delicious and so easy to make in a crock pot! We love it in our homemade yogurt, on toast, waffles or pancakes. I am even guilty of eating it right out of the jar- it's that good!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of pumpkin puree (canned or fresh) 
• 2 apples (chopped) 
• Ground Cinnamon
• Ground Nutmeg
• Dash of salt
• 1 tbs Maple Syrup
• 1 cup filtered water

 Add all ingredients to crockpot and turn on low heat for 6 hours. You might need to add some more liquid as the apples break down. Stir occasionally and when its a consistency you like it's ready! I made mine a little chunky, and of course you can also remove the apple peels if you want a smoother texture. I chose to keep the nutrients of the peel in mine and think it is just perfect! The kids and I think it is too die for! The hubby isn't much into pumpkin but even he admitted that it was "pretty good."

Have you tried making your own version of a pumpkin or apple (or both) butter? I would love to hear all about it!
