Sadly, my great Aunt passed away and no one had her recipe. I found a crock pot apple butter recipe several years ago, made it and canned it. I gave a jar to my mom who said it was the closest to Aunt Ellie's she had ever had. Instead of sugar, I use honey to sweeten my apple butter. I also found that when using the crock pot, having the lid on keeps too much moisture in the apple butter, so I cover with tea towels -- it allows the steam to escape, but also keeps anything from falling into the crock pot while cooking.

You can use it on toast and biscuits, or my family likes to put a spoon or two in their oatmeal in the morning. I sort of has the consistency of applesauce, nothing like jelly. It is Oh So Good!<br /><br />SisterTipster--You are too kind! Onemotherslove– Sort of. You can use it on toast and biscuits, or my family likes to put a spoon or two in their oatmeal in the morning.
