This recipe makes your house smell great all day!

Peel apples and finely chop them (a food processor will make this much easier). Place the apples in the crock pot.  Mix the other ingredients and pour on top.

Cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 9-11 hours (till it begins to look like apple butter) Make sure to stir it every once in a while to keep the apple butter from sticking.

Uncover and cook on low for another hour. If the apple butter is still lumpy, stir with a whisk.

Refrigerate, or refrigerate what you need and freeze the rest. Enjoy!
