CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER
Put 3 quarts of apples, sliced thin, in a crock pot and cook overnight on high. Next morning, add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3 cups sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Cook all day on low. Tastes like old-fashioned apple butter that is cooked in copper kettle.
You can use applesauce if you do not have time to prepare the apples. The crock pot makes it possible for apples to cook a long time without being stirred.
I love this recipe and have made it a number of times. It is delicious, easy, one bite and I am instantly transformed to my youth, when my Great Aunt Ada cooked this on a wood stove. She had an old copper pot that she used for canning, making apple sauce, apple butter, and all sorts of candy. I also remember the stack cakes she cooked in a cast iron skillet. She would spread each layer with jelly, jam, or apple sauce. A hot, steaming cup of cafe au la it, (half hot coffee/half hot milk) from the old blue enamel pot, always on the back of the wood stove. My mind races back to Flow Blue Platters, Blue Willow Dishes and Mason Jars of Marmalade.
Grace Please! Ba ba
