The recipe I used called for 3 cups of sugar and I substituted 1 cup of raw honey. Hope that helps:) I’m gonna try Diana’s recipe this weekend (after I travel to North Georgia to get some fresh apples), so we’ll see how it goes. Can’t wait for 48 hours of yummy apple butter smell.

I was wondering how much honey would I use in place of the sugar?

Susie, The only time I’ve had that problem with mine is if the apples are warm. I find the colder they are the easier they peel/core/slice. But I think it could also be a different brand? My friend has one that just plain doesn’t work. A good one will cost $25-30 when new, but I found it totally worth it.

Yes it does Miss Ginnie! I think I’d make a lot less apple items w/out it! Will have to try honey.

Hey there, miss Diana. My friends and I went apple pickin’ in Ellijay, GA, and I made apple butter, too. I used raw honey instead of sugar and that worked out well. Would like to try my next batch using your crockpot (and apple peels) method. Used rome beauty apples. Thanks for the tips!

I bought one of those peeler thingies and it doesn’t work The part that goes into the core strips and then the apple won’t turn. Have you ever had that problem?

oooh how I want to try this. I love apple butter and haven’t had it in years. I wonder if you could make a glaze or icing out of it for apple cake or muffins?
