APPLE BUTTER

I love apple butter and this Splenda recipe is tasty. A serving size is 1 tablespoon. This is an easy crock pot recipe that makes your house smell so good while it cooks.

• 5 lbs of apples – peeled, cored and thinly sliced (suggest Jonathan, Golden Delicious or Ida Red)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ cup SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend
• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon of cloves
• ½ teaspoon of allspice

1. Stir all ingredients together in slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours.
2. Remove and reserve cinnamon stick.
3. Place apple mixture into food processor and process until smooth.
4. Return mixture and cinnamon stick back to the crock pot and cook uncovered, on high, for about 4 hours or until mixture is thick and dark.
5. Place in containers and store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
