This was quite simple. I used Granny Smith apples, so needed to add a bit more cinnamon and sugar (not much). I'm going to try a different apple and see how that works out. This was very good. Almost like Grandma used to make.

Can this be put into jars and processed so that it will last longer without going in the freezer?

Great recipe. It's now a family tradition at our holiday get-togethers and other events.

I Gave this recipe to my sister in law because it is so good tasting. She made it over night and did the canning after her first cup of coffee in the morning. She couldn't believe how easy it was. Thanks TOH.

This recipe tastes amazing and is very easy to make. The only alterations I made were I used half the amount of sugar called for, I added a cinnamon stick along with the other spices, and because I was out of ground cloves used nutmeg instead.

This seems like the perfect apple butter recipe

Made this apple butter and it turned out great. 5 1/2 pounds apples will not fit into a 3 quart crock pot, use a larger one and it will cook better and quicker. Taste GREAT!
