This is the recipe my Grandma used to make. I've tried others with regrets, but this is the Best!!!

5 -6 half-pints (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 1/2 lbs tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and quartered (about 15 medium)
4 cups apple cider or apple juice
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions

1
In an 8 or 10 quart pot combine apples and cider or juice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then puree in a food processor or blender. Return to pot. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook uncovered, over very low heat 11/2 hours or till very thick, stirring often.
2
Ladle into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jars rims; place lids on jars and screw on the jar rings. Process in boiling-water canner 5 minutes (start timing when water begins to boil). Remove jars and cool on racks. Makes 5-6 half-pints.

AWESOME RECIPE!!! It tastes incredible....I let it simmer a little longer than recipe called for...but I did not have any problem with it becoming thick (as previous 2 reviews). I give this recipe two thumbs up! THANKS SO MUCH Zwerg!!!

I have to agree with SarahG, It took way longer to thicken up, I was in the kitchen wit it for about 5 hours. Not a big deal as it's ssaturday, but the time is very miss leading. As for flavor....WOW it's wonderful and I think once it cools and sets up it will be well worth the time it took me to cook it!

This apple butter is so good! I just opened a jar that I canned about a week ago, and the flavor is outstanding. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe
