Steps:
- Core and roughly chop the apples. (You can leave the peel on.)
- Place apples in slow cooker and add spices and water.
- Cover and cook on low for 9-10 hours.
- Use an immersion blender - or transfer apple mixture to a blender - and blend until smooth.
- Reset slow cooker to high and continue cooking for two more hours. Leave the lid partially open to allow some moisture to escape (this helps thicken the mixture). Stir every 30-45 minutes to ensure the apple butter doesn't burn on the bottom of the slow cooker.

SUGAR FREE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER
Another Graham Kerr wonder! From his cookbook "Simply Splenda". In his words, "This is dense, thick and dark brown, just like my grandmother made. The apple peels are left on to add pectin." **** Cooks Note: Apple butter can be used in baking - can replace up to 1/2 of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients. You may need to reduce sugar in recipes since the apple butter is already sweetened. . P.S. It's also wonderful on plain old toast or waffles!

Steps:
- If you are using fresh apples, cook the apples with the apple juice concentrate and enough water to just cover the apples. Cook until the apples are tender. Puree the mixture in a blender and strain out all the seeds and skin. Stir in the spices.
- If you are using unsweetened applesauce, stir the apple concentrate and spices into the unsweetened applesauce.
- Preheat the oven to 375. Pour the apple mixture into a heavy baking pan and place it in the preheated oven. After the first hour of baking, stir the apple butter every 30 minutes, continuing for 5-6 hours, until the apple butter is done. It should be a rich, dark brown, and when a drop is placed on a cold plate, no water should separate out.
- To can the apple butter for long term storage, spoon it into hot, sterilized half pint jars. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

- Choose the right apples: For the best apple butter, use a variety of apples that are tart and sweet. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
