Ingredients
5½ lbs. apples, peeled and chopped
4 cups sugar
2 -3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt

Procedure
Place apples in Crock Pot. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook on high for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking). Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer. If desired stir with a wire whisk until smooth.

Spoon into freezer containers or jars, leaving ½ inch head space. Cover and cool; refrigerate or freeze.
