Combine the apples, sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cloves in a slow cooker and stir together.

Cook on High for 1 hour. Lower the heat to Low and keep cooking, stirring now and then, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown, 9 to 11 hours. Remove the cover and continue cooking on Low, whisking occasionally, until it reaches the desired smoothness, about 1 hour.

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Fill the hot, sterilized jars with the apple butter, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. After filling, run a knife or thin spatula around the inside edges of the jars to release any air bubbles. Wipe the jar rims with a damp paper towel to remove any residue. Place the lids on and screw on the rings.

Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil and use a holder to lower the jars into the boiling water. Keep 2 inches of space between the jars. Add more boiling water if needed to ensure the water level is at least 1 inch above the jar tops. Return to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- 5
Lift the jars out of the stockpot and set them on a cloth-covered or wooden surface, spaced several inches apart, to cool. When cool, press the center of each lid with a finger to confirm a tight seal (the lid should not move up or down). Store in a cool, dark place.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
