6 pounds apples
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Core and peel apples. Fill large slow cooker with apples. Pour in remaining ingredients. Cook on high for 1 hour; stir.
Cook on low for about 9 to 10 hours or overnight until the apples are soft. Remove the lid and cook on high for 1 hour to allow for thickening to desired consistency. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth.
While the mixture is still hot, fill sterilized jars, then add lids and rings; refrigerate for up to two weeks or can in a water bath canner. Process for 20 Minutes.
