Sugar Free Crock Pot Apple Butter

• 4 lbs cooking apples, washed, UNPEELED, cored and cut into quarters (12 cups, try MacIntosh, Jonagold, Northern Spy or Gravenstein)
• 1/2 cup Splenda granular
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch clove
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1. Slice apples into a crock pot. Cook on low until they're very soft, 4-5 hours.
2. Remove from crock pot & press soft apples through a sieve to remove the peels. Stir in the Splenda, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Return mixture to crock pot and cook another 3-4 hours on low setting. (mixture should reduce to about 4 cups).
3. Spoon into clean jars (those cute little half-pint jelly jars would be perfect),leaving an inch of headroom. Cover with lids & freeze the jars that you want to use later. Store thawed apple butter in the refrigerator.
4. Note: for oven prep, cook apples for 2 hours on 350u0b0F After sieving & adding spices and Splenda, return to oven for another hour.
5. Serving size listed is 1 tablespoon.
