Easy Crock Pot Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 quarts unsweetened applesauce
    4 cups white sugar
    2 cups brown sugar
    1/3 1/3 cup apple juice or 1/3 cup water
    3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 tablespoon cinnamon
Preparation
    Add applesauce, sugars, and cider together in crock pot.
    Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
    Add spices and cook on low, covered, for 3 more hours.
    Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1-4 hours or until sufficiently thickened. May take longer, depends on how thick you like it and your crock pot.
    Ladle hot apple butter into 1/2 pint or pint size canning jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
    Makes about 6 pints.
    If you're not into canning, this would probably freeze very well.
