All Day Apple Butter
This tasty apple butter is a real slow cooker, but well worth the wait. Depending on the sweetness of the apples used, the amount of sugar may be adjusted to taste.

5 1/2 lbs apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped
4 cups white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt

Place the apples in crockpot. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Pour the mixture over the apples in the slow cooker and mix well. Cover and cook on HIGH 1 hour. Reduce heat to LOW and cook 9-11 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.

Uncover and continue cooking on LOW 1 hour. Stir with a whisk, if desired, to increase smoothness.
Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze. You can also can the apple butter.
