A few people have asked for my apple butter recipe, so here it is! The original recipe was made on the stove top, but I like using the crockpot.

Ingredients
  * 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
  * 1 cup apple cider
  * 4 pounds Macintosh (I've used several different kinds, but something with a good balance of tart and sweet work best) apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  * 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  * 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  * 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  * 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  * 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

After you've peeled and sliced the apples, blend them with the cider in a food processor or blender. Mix everything in the crockpot and turn it on high. I cook mine covered 2-3 hours on high, then covered for an hour on low, and then uncovered on low or "keep warm" for as long as it takes! To test if it's done, place a spoonful on a saucer. If, when it's cooled, there is no water around the apple butter, it's finished!
