Slow Cooker Apple Butter!


What do you do with all falls yummy apples? You make things & this is one thing that is very easy. Although time consuming it's a great addition to your jams & jellies that you have made all year to eat this winter. Who wouldn't want  fresh homemade apple butter in the dead of winter when nothing is growing.


5 1/2 cups apples peeled cored and chopped finely
2 cups white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground clove ( if you want your butter to be less spice add less )
1/4 salt

What to do:
Place your apples in a slow cooker/crock pot
In a bowl mix the remaining ingredients pour over apples & stir to coat
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour
reduce heat to low & cook for 9-12 hours, stirring occasionally. cook mixture till thick and dark brown
uncover and cook for another hour on low
using a whisk whisk until desired smoothness
spoon into sterile containers, cover refrigerate or freeze.

(Even little ones love this stuff)
