Best Apple Butter

I couldn't resist sharing this yummy fall recipe with you!

 The Necessities:

 8 cups of chopped peeled apples
 1 stick of butter
 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
 4 T apple cider vinegar
 1 t salt
 2 T cinnamon
 1/2 t ground cloves
 optional- 1/4 t nutmeg

Peel your apples.

Chop, measure out 8 cups, and throw into your crock pot.

Add 1 stick of butter, 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.

Let it cook for about 3 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. The apples should have rich brown caramelized look when they are done. You can leave it chunky or puree it in a food processor or blender.

We like the silky smooth texture after it's been pureed.

Apple butter is yummy mixed in with oatmeal or spread as a layer between cakes, but you really can't beat it poured over hot buttered rolls fresh out of the oven!
