Crock Pot Apple Butter
1/2 Peck or 5# Grimes or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Place in Crock Pot with 1 Cup apple Juice or Apple cider, cook on high, with lid on, about 4 hours.
Mash with a potato masher...Add:
3 Tablespoons Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 Cup Apple cider Vinegar
1 Pound of Dark Brown Sugar
Cook on low, Uncovered, for another 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
Thickens as it cools.
Place in hot sterile jars and water bath.
I just put mine in jars, or plastic containers and refrigerate, no water bath.
My kids love this, especially my Grandson. He always returns the jar, and says its time for a re-fill Nanny!
