First, easiest apple butter ever. Second, it tastes marvelous. Third, it doesn't make 8 quarts! You get a very usable amount of excellent apple butter. Started with unsweetened apple sauce and I used Splenda and a half amount of Splenda Brown and cooked it longer to get the consistency I wanted. I went with apple pie spice and it came out perfectly great. This will be made again before Christmas. :D

Nice easy recipe. NOT apple butter. This is just cooked applesauce that was a little thicker than before it went in the bread machine. Followed directions except for cloves and allspice. I even added extra pectin. Half a teaspoon more. My bread machine has a jam cycle Good thing I like applesauce. .

Thank you very much for this recipe. It is excellent! I have loved apple butter since I was a child. I eat it on English muffins,biscuits and, potato pancakes and hate paying the outrageous price on the grocery store. As other reviewers stated, I used unsweetened applesauce and left out the clove as per my personal taste. I also cooked it quite a bit longer than the jam setting in my machine. Smucker's eat your heart out! I will only eat this recipe from now on.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
