Thanks for the post. I love apple butter and haven't made it in a long time. I use to make mine from applsauce also. So much easier than cooking the apples down and putting through the food mill.

thanks, I love apple butter

Let me know how you like it. I tell you, this recipe never goes wrong. I like using lots of cinnamon and cloves. The longer it cooks, the darker and creamier it gets.

Well, never did get apples but the neighbors gave me a huge bag of pears this weekend. I peeled about half of them and that filled up the crockpot. I added a bit of cinnamon and a little br sugar, now to see how it does. I need to take the top off though and put the foil on it. next week the apple butter since we are off on vacation in the mountains and that will be soooooo good up there. Smells wonderful already.
