1- 48 - 50 oz jar unsweetened or cinnamon apple sauce
3 - lbs granny smith apples, diced
4 - cups sugar
1 - cup juice or apple cider
2 - teaspoons cinnamon
1 - teaspoons cloves
1 - teaspoon allspice
Peel and cut apples into small chips. Place all ingredients in the crock pot and stir. Cover and cook on low overnight (eight to ten hours). In the morning remove cover, stir and taste. Add more spices or sugar if desired.
Remove the lid and change the temperature to high continue cooking for about 4 more hours, uncovered, until some of the liquid is gone and the apple butter has cooked down a bit.
Rule of thumb a wooden spoon should be able to stand upright when you place it in the apple butter. Pour into jars and refrigerate or process in a hot water bath. Serve over hot biscuits, toast, scones.
