Total Time: 3 hrs Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 84 ounces unsweetened applesauce or 3 lbs apples, chopped and a little water
• 3 cups white sugar (or other sweetener of choice) or 3 cups brown sugar (or other sweetener of choice)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon clove

Recipe

• 1 put applesauce and sugar in crockpot. (if using artificial sweetener do.
• 2 not add to mixture until after the butter is done and cooled).
• 3 cook until about half the original volume. i usually cook on high during day and low at night. with my crockpot on my last batch i used high for 3 hours, low for 9 hours and high again for 8 hours. there is nothing magic about the timing sequence. i add the seasoning in the last half hour of cooking.
