Great apple butter. I probably should have cooked it for longer; I only cooked it for 8 hours. The recipients loved it. It was very sweet.

Wonderful. I started with about 6 pounds of macintosh and fuji. I cut the sugar to two cups and added another 1/4 tsp. of cloves. I canned half of it and then added a tsp of double strength vanilla to the rest before canning. It was really nice and softened the flavor a bit. Mine made 10 half pint jars and it was a fun first canning experience.

This was excellent! I used up some old apples I had and boy was that a treat. My husband and I really liked the results of this recipe! Just a side note, I had some homemade applesauce in the freezer that we weren't eating, so I just added that to the recipe as well. It worked out great.

Amazing!!! I started around 9am...after cleaning, peeling, and cutting apples got then going in crock pot by 950...followed others suggestions and used 1/2c sugar and 3/4c brown sugar...used the ground cloves, cinnamon, and salt...added a bit more cinnamon and cloves. Let them go on high for about hour..then turned town to low..took lid off around 730pm and ran through my baby bullet because it was really lumpy...let go until about 830 then turned off...let cool then put in jars in fridge..just had a piece of toast and omg it tasted soo good...just like all the other apple butters I have had at restaurants etc. A bit thicker then I have seen but tastes soo yummy!

We made tons of this when our apple tree was producing. Couldn't make enough of it!

DELICIOUS! I had about 2 1/2 lbs. of apples that were starting to get soft spots so I was happy to find this recipe. I cut the recipe in half and it took about 7 hours to cook. I did the spoonful on a saucer test to tell when it was done. This tastes awesome when spread on cinnamon raisin toast. Thank you Terri for sharing your DELICIOUS recipe!

This had a wonderful but very sweet flavor. I used it on the pork tenderloin and it was amazing! It does take a very long time to complete but it was worth it.

My family and friends adore this recipe. I actually have cut the sugar down by 1 cup and have increase the cooking time (mainly because it makes the house smell so warm and inviting).

This is just a perfect recipe! We used some older soft apples that were too tart to eat, so everyone left them alone. The recipe was easy to make and the house smelled fabulous after cooking. We were eating spoonfuls out of the pan! I will make this often. Perfect topping for autumn cakes, pancakes, oatmeal and more. Yum!!

This is my second batch the first went quick! I would have given it five stars but decided on 4 due to a few inconsistencies in the recipe. #1.. prep time is longer than 30 minutes. I used a countertop apple peeler that moves quickly but dicing them takes time. The first tie I diced them rather finely but found it makes no difference. #2. Even with the fine dice a wisk did not create a smooth product. Use a immersion blender, works lie a dream. #3. Time after removing lid is more than an hour. Mine ran about 3 hours. I suppose this could vary due to how juicy your apples are. All things considered in will continue to use this recipe.
