Steps:
- In a medium pot, combine the apples, water, and spices. Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer with the lid ajar until the apples are saucy and broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the apples to a food processor or Vitamix and puree until smooth. Transfer back to the pot and continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning, until the mixture thickens a bit, takes on a slightly darker color, and has a more concentrated apple flavor, about 15 minutes more.
- Cool the apple butter to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

SUGAR FREE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER
Another Graham Kerr wonder! From his cookbook "Simply Splenda". In his words, "This is dense, thick and dark brown, just like my grandmother made. The apple peels are left on to add pectin." **** Cooks Note: Apple butter can be used in baking - can replace up to 1/2 of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients. You may need to reduce sugar in recipes since the apple butter is already sweetened. . P.S. It's also wonderful on plain old toast or waffles!

Steps:
- Slice apples into a crock pot. Cook on low until they're very soft, 4-5 hours.
- Remove from crock pot & press soft apples through a sieve to remove the peels. Stir in the Splenda, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Return mixture to crock pot and cook another 3-4 hours on low setting. (mixture should reduce to about 4 cups).
- Spoon into clean jars (those cute little half-pint jelly jars would be perfect),leaving an inch of headroom. Cover with lids & freeze the jars that you want to use later. Store thawed apple butter in the refrigerator.
- Note: for oven prep, cook apples for 2 hours on 350°F After sieving & adding spices and Splenda, return to oven for another hour.
- Serving size listed is 1 tablespoon.
