Hello Peggy,
Try Musselman’s Apple Butter, or Der Dutchman Apple Butter (Amish
Apple butter is basically just super concentrated, super smooth applesauce. It’s cooked for longer, which gives it that caramelized color and rich apple flavor, but the ingredients are nearly identical. To make homemade apple butter, all you have to do is put some apples (use Mcintosh, Red Delicious or Gala, peeled, cored and sliced) in a crock pot with cup brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Let it sit there all day, stirring occasionally.. It’s really that easy.
