Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.

In a slow cooker, combine the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon juice.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the apples are soft and the mixture is thickened.

Once cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth.

Transfer the apple butter to sterilized jars and let cool before sealing.
