Used granny smith apples I used half the sugar called for and it was still very sweet. Spices were great though. I'll try again with less sugar.

I thought the butter turned out really good. BUT! I only used 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and NO white sugar at all. I also used a natuarlly sweet apple- Matsu. I also left the lid off the slow cooker the last 2 1/2 hours of cooking, so it would thicken more. I just finished making it yesterday, it usually gets better when it sits for a week or 2(I canned it.)

First time I've made this recipe and it turned out perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants great apple butter. It makes a lot. I ended up with 2 16oz jars, 2 12oz jars and 6 8oz jars. The only thing I changed was the type of apples I used...I used Gala apples.

Delicious, and the house smelled wonderful all day! I didn't have ground cloves, but it tasted fine without. I also had to use a blender to get the smooth consistency that I wanted. I will definitely use this recipe again.
