ingredients

3 quarts unsweetened applesauce
2 lbs granulated sugar
1 lb brown sugar
³⁄₄ cup apple cider
SPICES
¹⁄₂ teaspoon nutmeg
¹⁄₄ teaspoon allspice
³⁄₄ teaspoon clove
3 teaspoons cinnamon

directions

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.)

This was a GREAT tasting treat. I found it very easy to make and everyone who tried it, loved it. I think I'm going to try it with some fresh strawberries next time. Thankyou so much for sharing your recipe. Oh yeah, cooking it all day gives the house a great smell, brings back some great memories.
