Easy Apple Butter

shared by Dara P.

Ingredients:

12 granny smith apples peeled, cored, and finely diced

4 cups white sugar
2 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients (mixed well) into a crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour. 
2. Cook for an additional 10 hours on low.
3. Refrigerate or freeze.

Note: I ended up just cooking mine from 4:30 in the afternoon and got up at 6 the next morning to put into jars. Mine didn't get all "mushed" up so I put it in the ninja for a few pulses and it came out perfect.  Aaron approved and he had never had apple butter before.
