Apple Butter by Emily Matthews

5 1/2 lbs. apples, cored, peeles, and sliced
4 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt

Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on high for one hour, then reduce to low heat and cook for 9-11 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove lid for last hour to let water evaporate. Mixture will caramelize into a dark brown. Use hand mixer or potato masher to make a smoother consistency if desired (careful: mixture is extremely hot) Put in containers and freeze. Serve on pancakes, waffles, toast, or anything!
