A family heirloom recipe! How to make and can Apple Butter!

My family has made apple butter for generations. We love the warm, spicy, richness of this delicious condiment. It is such a treat to have on a warm biscuit straight from the oven or to use in a fried apple pie. I've combined multiple versions of my grandmother's and great aunt's recipes into our absolute favorite combination.
This is my family's apple butter recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Below the recipe is links to all the tools I used in the video as well as my website and where you can find me on the internet.
Thanks for being here!

Crockpot Apple Butter

6 cups Apples
3 cups Sugar
These spices are a mix that I like... now if you don't care for one or the other eliminate i Or, add more of what you like. Just play, taste and find your favorite combination. :)
4 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Nutmeg (optional, if you use it, use freshly ground pretty please)
2 tsp. Cloves (be careful with this, don’t use too much)
2-3 Tbsp. Vanilla (I LOVE what this does for the flavor!)(remember to do this AFTER everything is ready to maintain the flavor)
Put all your apples in the bottom of your crockpot I used my roaster because I made such a big batch), then sprinkle on the sugar and spices. Do not stir.

Cook on low all night and in the morning you are ready to puree or mash and jar up your butter.

After filling your jars add a fresh lid and band and put in hot water bath canner or steam canner for at least 15-20 minutes. 15 for pints or smaller, 20 for quarts.
