Apple Butter
Excellent, but I tweaked the recipe after reading everyone's reviews. Here is what I did...not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. 12 Medium Apples 2 tsp Cinnamon 2 c. Brown Sugar 1/2 tsp. Allspice 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves Definitely use a hand mixer toward the end, as it helps to smooth out the apple butter. The mixture tends to "shrink" as you cook it, so fill that Crockpot as full as you can! My crockpot cooks fast, even on a low setting. Took less than 8 hours from start to finish for me.
