For those of us that don't have much time to cook, here is a simple recipe for apple butter,, I have used it several times and it is great.

-apples to fill crock pot

-4 cups sugar

-3 tsp. cinnamon

-1 tsp. cloves

peel, core, and slice apples to fill pot

cook on low for 18 hours(don't lift lid)

Remove lid and stir well. Add sugar and spices, cover and cook 4 more hours. Take off lid and cook on HIGH for the last hour.

Good luck :)
