CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER

  This is a simple recipe!

 

12 - 14 Granny Smith apples (16 c. chopped)
2 c. cider
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. watkins cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves

Core and chop apples, do not peel. Combine apples and cider in crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 10 - 12 hours or until apples are mushy. Puree in a food mill to remove peels. (Leaving the peels on during the cooking gives the apples a nice color and flavor.)Return apples to Crock-Pot, add sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Cook uncovered until thickened to your desired consistency. May be canned for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath or frozen for up to 12 months.
Makes 8 cups.
