8 jars
ingredients
- 15 cups peeled cored and chopped apples (or enough to fill a medium 4-qrt crockpot)
- 1⁄2 cup lemon juice

- 1 1⁄2 cups white sugar (add an extra1/2 cup if you like your apple butter sweet)
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
directions
- In the evening, peel, core and slice enough apples so that your crockpot's lid is resting on top of the apples (they will cook down). Remove and toss with lemon juice. Poor apples and lemon juice back into crockpot and cover. Cook for about 18 hours on low (7 to 10 hours on high), stirring a couple of times as the apples soften.
