Steps:
- Combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cloves in a slow cooker.
- Cook on High until the apples are tender enough to easily mash with a fork, 4 to 6 hours.
- Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful apples: For the best apple butter, use apples that are at the peak of ripeness and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Some good varieties for apple butter include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples will help to remove any unpleasant flavors or textures from the apple butter. You can use a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife to do this, or you can use a food processor fitted with a coring blade.
- Cook the apples slowly and low: The key to making apple butter is to cook it slowly and low. This will help to develop the flavor and caramelize the sugars in the apples. You can cook the apple butter in a slow cooker on low for 8-12 hours or in a Dutch oven over low heat for 4-6 hours.
- Stir the apple butter regularly: As the apple butter cooks, it will thicken and start to stick to the bottom of the pot or slow cooker. To prevent this, stir the apple butter regularly.
- Add spices and sugar to taste: Once the apple butter has thickened, you can add spices and sugar to taste. Common spices used in apple butter include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add a bit of brown sugar or maple syrup to sweeten the apple butter.
Conclusion:
Apple butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or pork, or as a filling for pies and cakes. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make your own apple butter at home. So next time you have a bunch of apples on hand, give this apple butter recipe a try!
