Crockpot Apple Butter Recipie
Ingredients
approximately 3 lb. apples
(If you are buying apples by the bag, make sure to weigh it. If it weighs around 5 pounds then I usually add a extra cup of sugar for good measure :)
3 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. cloves
dash of salt
3/4 cup water or fresh apple cider
Directions
1. Fill Crock-pot 3/4 full with peeled, cored and sliced apples. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.
2. Cover and cook on low setting overnight or until the butter is of a thick, spreadable consistency.
If apple butter has too much liquid, remove lid and cook on high until thickened. Stir often as butter thickens to prevent scorching. (Side Note: If you are as impatient as I am, you can cook your apple butter on high to cook it down faster, but make sure to keep a closer eye on it so it doesn't scorch, stir often. If you plan on cooking this overnight, make sure to keep it on low setting.)
3. Store in refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.
4. To can the apple butter, pack into hot jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

I canned my apple butter in 4oz jars so it will keep longer.
But, that's it! So simple and tasty! This also makes great gifts for any holiday. I dress up my jars with a material square under the lid. They look so cute! \
