Have you heard of Apple Butter? Its rich, decadent and tastes like fall. It’s a pantry staple in Appalachia, but beloved in many other parts of the country as well! It’s surprisingly one of my most requested recipes. It’s a main ingredients in Appalachian Stack Cakes. I’ll share a recipe for mine soon! Promise! However, I enjoy apple butter most of all on buttermilk biscuits or as a filling in hand-pies!
9 large apples
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 -1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp clove
1 cup apple cider (or apple juice)
Combine all ingredients together in a 4 quart (or larger) crockpot. Stir to combine. Turn crockpot on high and allow to cook 8-10 hours. Stirring occasionally. If at any point you feel the apples are sticking or are cooking too high turn your crockpot to low. Once apple mixture has softened and reduced by half - you can leave chunky or you can purée in batches. 
To Can: 
Ladle hot apple butter into a hot sterilized pint jar leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Wipe jar rim. Center lid on jar and apply band to fingertip tight. Place jar(s) in boiling water canner.
Process jar(s) 15 minutes. Turn off heat, remove canner lid, let jars stand 5 minutes. Remove jars and cool 12-24 hours.
To Freeze: Place apple butter in freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 6 months. 
Apple butter will also keep 1-2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
