Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1 Place the chopped apples in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients, stir to blend well.

2 cover and cook on high for one hour

3 reduce heat to low and cook 10-11 hours, stir occasionally. Until mixture is thickened and dark brown.

4 Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1 hour. Stir with whisk if desired to increase the smoothness

5 Spoon mixture into clean freezer containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze

6 **** You can add more sugar (up to 4 cups) but I like mine just a little tart but still sweet. I don't think I would ever use more than 2 cups even if the Apples are tart.
