1. 1

   I make apple butter in my crock pot and it is very easy and very tasty. Usually I use 3 pounds of Jonathan apples which I wash, core and chunk into a 3 quart crock pot. I add about 1 to 2 cups apple cider (sometimes I use just water) and cook on low til mushy. I chop the apples (peel and all) and run through a sieve and return to the crock pot. I add about 1 cup sugar (or more depending on taste preference), cover and cook on high til bubbly. I then remove the lid and cook on high til apples turn dark brown and thicken.

2. 2

   Pour into jelly jars and put in refrigerator or freezer - after they cool. Tastes good on everything from biscuits to toast to even ice cream.
