Have any of you done it in the slow cooker? I cut up the apples and cook in the slow cooker on low until the apples are soft [I help them along with my stick bleender] them add spice that the family likes and cook for a couple more hours. then jar it and boil bath just to seal the jars. this work's realy well for us working folks. I have put the apple in at night just before gone to bed cook on warm all night and add spice before work and come home and can. and then do it again the next night until and apple are done, it is slow but your don't have stand over the apple all day and make should they don't burn.
