      Title: APPLE BUTTER
 Categories: Jelly/jam, Fruits, Crockpot, Family
      Yield: 1 servings

           --GRAMMIE'S KITCHEN
     14    Apples; quartered
           -leave skin on
      2 c  Cider; sweet
      2 c  Sugar; to taste
  1 1/2 ts Cinnamon; more or less
           Lemon juice; optional
           -use if apples are too sweet

  I use my large CROCKPOT. Combine all ingredients and
  cook in high stirring occasionally for the first hour
  or so; covered. Then remove cover and turn down to low
  and stir occasionally. This is a slow process since
  you have NOT precooked the apples.  Will take 24 to 36
  hours. But you have NEVER tasted anything so good. I
  think it is much better this way then precooking the
  apples.  I usually stir in the skin every hour or so
  but this is not critical.  You can cook during the
  night but I usually do not.

  CANNING:  You can process this in a water bath but I
  usually just keep it in the fridge; it never lasts
  that long.

  NOTE: The skin is the substance that makes it thick
  along with the evaporation of the water. Please try it
  with the lid of the crockpot off. It is better than
  MUSSELMANS. The grandgirls say the house smells like
  Apple Pie and they love it with Peanut Butter on bread
  or over cottage cheese. We always used to bring that
  back from PA. Now I think I'll take this down. I hope
  you all enjoy!!!
