I saw this on Facebook. I didn’t think this could be water bath canned?
I saw this crockpit apple butter recipe on facebook. The notation says it can be water bath canned. I don't see an acid like lemon juice in this recipe. Can this be water bathed as is? I don't think it can be.

https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=apple-butter Here is balls recipe for apple butter. It does call for lemon juice, wouldn’t you be able to add some lemon juice to the apple butter recipe you showed a screenshot of? Idk how much of a flavor difference it would cause.

As is, it’s not cannable. But, you can store it in the fridge.

You don’t need to add acid to apple butter. Apples are acidic enough and there’s no other low acid additions to apple butter. The lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in some recipes are just for taste.

Yes that can be water bath canned. I have the ball blue book 37th edition and both the apple butter and sweet apple butter doesn’t call for lemon juice and also the book that came with my presto canner doesn’t call for lemon juice in any apple recipes.
Although the cook time in that recipe is a little ridiculous. In a pot on the stove you could get cooked down in under an hour instead of 10-12 hours in a crock pot
