CANDY APPLE BUTTER
A slightly sweet and sassy apple butter kids are sure to love! Cinnamon oil and red food coloring may be used in place of the candies. If using the cinnamon oil and omitting brown sugar this becomes a healthier tasty treat your kids won't know is good for them! My kids love this on buttered bread, warm atop french toast, or on ice cream.

Steps:

- Cook on Low, stirring occasionally, until the candies dissolve, about 1 hour.
- Increase heat to High and continue cooking until the apples have begun to lose shape, about 4 hours. Add remaining apples to the slow cooker. Reduce heat to Low and continue cooking until desired thickness is reached, at least 3 hours.

- For candied pecans, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Heat until mixture boils and all sugar granules are dissolved.
- Add chopped pecans to mixture and stir for 1 to 2 minutes over heat.
- Be sure that all pecans are well-coated.
