Crock-Pot Apple butter Name: Heather Leipart Base: Volkel AFB Recipe: I have made this recipe many times and given away dozens of jars of apple butter as gifts...turns out great everytime! 6 lbs apples 4 cups sugar 3 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cloves 1/4 tsp salt Cook all ingredients in a crock pot on high for 1 hour, reduce to low and cook 9-11 hours. Can the apple butter in Mason jars to give as gifts or to enjoy as a spread for later use. This recipe also makes for a heavenly aroma around the house!
