Steps:
- Combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cloves in a slow cooker.
- Cook on High until the apples are tender enough to easily mash with a fork, 4 to 6 hours.
- Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

LINDA'S 24 HOUR CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER
This is very close in flavor to the Apple Butter you can find and roadside stands in Amish Country, in Lancaster PA, very dark and very thick. I have been making apple butter since 1979 and when I adapted it to the crock pot it was lots easier and less messy. Store in the refrigerator in a jar for two weeks or can in half-pints according to your canner instructions.

Steps:
- Stir everything together in your crock pot and turn to high for one hour to get it started.
- Turn to low and let cook for 24 to 36 hours, stirring down a few times a day. You may need to take the lid off for several hours to let the water evaporate. I usually have to let it go six hours without the lid but my crock pots were invented when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
- Jar it up and either process it or store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

- Be sure to trim the ribs of any excess fat before cooking.
- Make sure the apple butter you use is of good quality. A homemade apple butter will give your ribs the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings in your apple butter ribs recipe. You can add a little bit of heat with some cayenne pepper, or some sweetness with a little bit of brown sugar.
- Let the ribs cook on low heat for at least 6 hours. This will allow the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the apple butter ribs with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and corn on the cob are all great options.
