Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

15 gala apples, peeled, sliced and cored
1 cup sugar (I used raw sugar, but brown sugar would be good here too)
1 1/3 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Place ingredients in slow cooker, stir.  Cook on low for 8 hours or overnight, or until apples have softened and turned to a dark, caramel color and the mixture has thickened to a spreadable consistency.

Stores well in the freezer or, using sterilized jars, process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes if you're below 6,000 feet elevation (or 15 minutes if you're above 6,000 feet elevation).

Enjoy on a warm baguette or toast.
