Five Hour Stew(oven) or Ten Hour Stew(crockpot)

For the oven... place all ingredients in a 3 quart casserole and mix well...cover...Bake at 275 for 5 hours.

For the crock pot...Starting with the bottom of the crockpot put potatoes and carrots in first(they will need the most cooking)then celery and onion. Stir in Tapioca.

Apple Butter by freyguys


12 medium apples, peeled, cored and cut into fourths
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup apple juice
1 T. cinnamon
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves

Mix all ingredients in 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat 8 to 10 hours or until apples are very tender. Mash apples with potato masher or large fork. Cook uncovered on low heat 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until mixture is very thick. Cool about 2 hours. Spoon apple butter into container. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks. (I also stick it in the freezer to keep the extras.) Sometimes I do not have all the spices, so I don't add them. I don't get any complaints.

Good to use on bagels with cream cheese. Use instead of butter on hot toast, English muffins or biscuits. Or spoon on top of hot pancakes or waffles.
