Making Apple Butter

I had 5 1/2 pounds of apples that I needed to use and so Slow Cooker Apple Butter to the rescue. Not only is it yummy but so simple to make. Peel and core your apples, add sugar, spice, and a bit of water to the crock pot and turn on high for 1 hour, low for 9 hours and remove the lid, puree with a stick blender and cook an additional hour with the lid off.  Sure it's a long process but it doesn't scorch, I don't have to constantly stir it and if I'd thought about it I'd have started it at night so it'd be ready when I woke in the morning and could finish it lid off and into the canning jars.  Next time I make it I will have to do that but as a night owl canning at 10 pm isn't a big deal to me.
