Just put it all in crockpot

I just put my first batch of ingredients in the crockpot for apple butter. Yummy good stuff. Do you know how tired little stiff fingers get peeling and cutting all those apples? It is amazing how much people waste. Why don't they use what is growing in their yard. The apples came from a neighbor who didn't want them. I am going to make pear butter from a neighbors that doesn't use their pears either. I am going to have some good stuff from their yards.
