Apple butter is essentially applesauce that has been cooked longer so that the sugars caramelize. Applesauce made from fresh apples naturally gives better flavor to the butter, but jarred applesauce is fine, too.

Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce shopping list
- 1/3-1/2 cup sugar (adjust per taste - I like it sweet, so I use 1/2 cup) shopping list
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the applesauce, sugar, and the cinnamon in a saucepan. Simmer over VERY low heat stirring frequently to prevent burning. Partially cover the pan, if necessary, to prevent "spluttering."
- In about an hour, the applesauce will have become darker and thicker. Continue cooking over low heat. The apple butter will be ready when it will mound up or maintain a peak on the spoon.
- The apple butter can also be cooked using the slow cooker, and you don't have to watch it as carefully so that it doesn't burn. The apple butter will not become as dark in color as commercially-purchased apple butter, but it will taste as good! When I make this again, I'll try using dark brown sugar instead of white to see if that improves the color a bit.
