Peel and Core enough apples to fill your crock pot.

In a separate bowl combine, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1tblsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves, 1/4 tsp. salt

Pour sugar mixture over apples and cook on low for 2 hours then stir.

Cook for 8 more hours (I slept while the crockpot did all the work)

Stir in 2tsp. lemon juice and 1tblsp. vanilla

Taste - add more sugar if needed.

Cook 1 to 2 more hours with the lid off to allow for thickening.
