Description My neighbor's tree overfloweth with apples this year, and they offered to let us pick some. We got a milk crate full of them, and I've started canning them in different recipes. This one is apple butter, and is deliciously horrible for my diet.

Crock-pot Apple Butter

Ingredients:
5 lbs apples, peeled and finely sliced
3 cups sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Place apples in Crock-pot in thirds, layering sugar between each layer.
2. Add rest of ingredients on top and pack them down as well as you can.
3. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
4. Reduce heat to low. Open and give it a stir. Keep covered and cook 8 hours or until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally. (You can do this overnight and can in the morning, it's what I did).
5. Uncover and cook for the last hour on low.
6. If a smoother apple butter is desired, you may puree in blender or food mill (I put mine through the food processor).
7. Place in sterile jars with lids and process for 10 minutes in hot water bath or you can freeze instead.

Wow you have such a different recipe then I do.

It looks really good, though yours is a lot darker then mine. I actually use les sugar and more apples, but mine is a 12-13 hour recipe.

Are those the apples that you use? (Sorry if this was a bother)

Ooh, I wish I had an apricot tree... I don't personally like apples all that much, and I'd really prefer apricot butter.

Yes, apricots are soo delicous(:
I love apples and apricots both the same, but my overall favourite fruit is pineapples. Gosh i love them so much, and they taste fantastic on frozen yogurt

Ooh yes, pineapples are amazing! I get a weird reaction from eating them (my lips bleed) but it's worth it for me in the end ^^

I have been making a pineapple variety of my fridge oatmeal that I absolutely love, and it's dilute enough to not aggravate my lips.
