12 cups chopped, unpeeled apples
3/4 cup apple cider
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1. Combine apples and cider in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or until apples are soft.

2. Purée in food sieve or food mill. Return mixture to pot; add sugar and spices. Cover and cook on low 1 to 2 hours longer. For a thicker apple butter, uncover, and cook on high until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

3. Store in refrigerator or pour hot apple butter into hot canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust caps for canning. Process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.
