My peach butter was so tasty and easy to make, I decided to turn the
apples I've had sitting on the counter into apple butter. I thought I
didn't like apple butter, but it turns out I like mine! Zero sugar, a
little lemon juice - this is great! I'm not going to bother adding
any spices to it because I'm so pleased with the deep apple flavor.

A person can get turned off of apple butter, by eating some that uses
too many spices. Yours sounds tasty.

I tried to make it in my crockpot, but realized I would not live long enough for it to materialize. I shall continue to pay the 4.99 a jar and be glad it's still available.

Briefly, how did you make yours?

Granny Smiths, btw, were on sale for 1.79 a pound the other day. Yielded a big batch of applesauce.

I didn't know what I was doing when I made peach butter the other day,
so I started it on the stove and then finished it in my crockpot.
This apple butter was crock pot all the way... mainly on high. The
cover was on while I was cooking the apples so I could mash them and
then I took it off for evaporation purposes. I had thoughts of it
going it all night on low with a handle under one end of the lid to
aid evaporation, but it cooked so quickly (small amount) that didn't
happen.

Take some of your applesauce and reduce it down to apple butter! Use
your crock pot and set your timer so you won't forget to stir it.
That's all there is to making fruit butter. Add spices if you wish.

Too many spices had to be it, Becca. Thanks.

I don't understand spices in apple pie. I make mine without.
Home-style applesauce is the same. No spices in mine.

I hate the way that cinnamon creeps into every apple recipe as well.
It's just overdone. At school, the cooks always put a lot of cloves in
the apple pie, I didn't like that either.
The recipe for an apple/pear galette I made last year for Thanksgiving
had 1tsp of cinnamon in it so I cut it beck to about a 1/4tsp. That
amount really worked well with the maple syrup I drizzled over it when
it came out of the oven. I'll be making it for Thanksgiving again this
coming weekend.

Sounds more like apple sauce but call it what you want.
