I love this time of year. All the colors, sights, smells, and of course the food! A good friend of mine, and new blogger, is here to share this slow cooker apple butter recipe. She's not kidding when she says you will enjoy how your house smells or how great this tastes!
Hello! I’m Megan and my blog is Essentially Megan. I am a work from home mommy of two boys with another on the way. Essentially Megan is about all the things that make up my world. I write about my family, friends, food, travel, and healthy living. Ashley and I have been like family for over 8 years. She is a huge reason I began my blog. When she asked if I’d be interested in doing a guest post I said absolutely.
Fall is here and with it cooler weather and delicious foods. One of my favorite things about Fall is the abundance of apples and apple festivities. Sometimes there are more apples than we know what to do with. What should you do when you have an abundance of apples? Make homemade apple butter.
