Ingredients
  

  • 4 c Unsweetened Unflavored Applesauce
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 2 t Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ t Ground Allspice
  • ¼ t Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ t Ground Cloves

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients into a slow cooker.
  • Stir thoroughly.
  • Turn on high and cook for about 7 hours UNCOVERED. 
  • Stir the mixture every 2 hours. It will turn very dark brown.

  • To cool quickly: Transfer hot apple butter to a shallow glass casserole dish and leave on the counter for one hour, stir, then slide into the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container.
  • Keep chilled. If kept cold, it should stay fresh-tasting for about four days. Check for mold or strong vinegar smell and discard without using.
