Apple Butter (using apples)
4 quarts apples, peeled, thin-sliced or chopped (McIntosh/Jonathan)
4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Spray the crock pot with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients in the crock pot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Stir to mix again and then turn crock pot down to LOW and 7 to 8 hours (you might need to cook longer depending on your how hot your crock pot cooks...you want your apple butter to be thick and brown in color. You will want to stir the apple butter throughout the day...just remember, every time you lift the lid, you need to add 15 to 20 minutes to your cook time.
Once you have apple butter, you will want to spoon it (while hot) into pint size jars or jelly jars and let the apple butter sit so they can seal. If they seal, you should be able to keep the apple butter for up to a year...
