A couple of thihgs I have thought of one being that we go every year to Elijay Ga. which is Apple country. They have some of the best Apple Butter we have tasted. You can google Merciers Apple Orchard and find all of their products. This is a great place to shop for fried pies, jams. jelies, cider, you name it they have and will ship to you.
Charlotte has a recipe for Apple Butter I will pass along.
Crockpot Apple Butter
5 qts. finely chopped apples of choice
4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
4 cups sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
Fill a 5 quart crockpot heaping full with apples. Drizzle remaining ingredients over apples. Cover-lid may not close all the way at first. Began cooking on high for 1 hour, then lower heat to low and cook all day or night, until thick and dark stirring occasionally. Place in jars and seal or you may put in freezer containers. May use equal amounts of Splenda instead of the sugar. Can cool on high for 4-6 hrs, but best if cooked longer.
