Ingredients

5.5 pounds apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped
4 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Combine apples in your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; then, pour this mixture over the apples, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 1 hour to start the process.
Turn the heat to Low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 9 to 11 hours until the mixture thickens and develops a dark brown color.
Remove the lid and cook on Low for an additional hour. For a smoother consistency, whisk thoroughly.
Transfer the apple butter into sterilized jars, seal them, and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
