Title: Apple Butter
Categories: Fruit
Yield: 12 Servings
3 | qt | Unsweetened Applesauce |
2 | lb | Granulated Sugar |
1 | lb | Brown Sugar |
3/4 | c | Apple Cider |
SPICES |
1/2 | ts | Nutmeg |
1/4 | ts | Allspice |

The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier
texture that's best for applesauce.
Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325
deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires
long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
