Topic: Crock Pot Apple Butter

[wvchat]

Ingredients
5 1/2 lbs apples, peeled and finely chopped (I use 3-4 different types of apples)
4 cups sugar
2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1  Place apples in a large bowl.
2   Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
3   Pour over apples and mix well.
4   Place in crock pot, cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
5   Decrease heat to low; cover and cook on low for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown.
6   Stir occasionally.
7   Uncover and cook on low for 1 hour longer.
8   If desired, whisk until smooth.
9   Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2-inch head space.
10   Cover and freeze.

This is good.  With very ripe apples I would use less sugar.  Also,  I canned mine rather than froze it. Yummy

That sounds good, suzi - and easy - will try it. I like the cloves and cinnamon mix - it's what I use in my applesauce cake (my mother's recipe). libby

It is good.  It only makes about 4 - 5 pints at the most but the taste was as good as any I have ever had.
