Categories : Fruits Spreads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 quarts Unsweetened Applesauce
2 pounds Granulated Sugar
1 pound Brown Sugar
3/4 cup Apple Cider
-----SPICES-----
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Allspice
3/4 teaspoon Cloves
3 teaspoons Cinnamon

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.)
