Linda'S 24 Hour Crock Pot Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 gallon applesauce
3 cinnamon sticks, left whole
1 lemon, juice of
4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon apple pie spice

Preparation

Stir everything together in your crock pot and turn to high for one hour to get it started.
Turn to low and let cook for 24 to 36 hours, stirring down a few times a day. You may need to take the lid off for several hours to let the water evaporate. I usually have to let it go six hours without the lid but my crock pots were invented when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Jar it up and either process it or store in the refrigerator.
