Apple Butter

Here's another recipe with apples that I love, for many reasons.

One.  It's got that similar scent and taste to apple pie that I can't resist.

Two.  It's a slow-cooker recipe, so I don't really have to do anything but wait for the tasty butter to finish cooking.

On second thought, the waiting might be the only thing I don't like about it.



Apple Butter

3 lbs. apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1 1/2 - 2 cups sugar, depending on your taste
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt


Mix all of the ingredients in a slow-cooker.

Cook on high for one hour, then reduce to low and cook an additional 10-12 hours, or until the mixture has the desired consistency of apple butter.  Stir the mixture occasionally.

Pour into sterilized jars.
