Apple Butter Made Easy

Tracie Walker
Apple butter is the perfect Autumn treat. Everyone loves the smell of it cooking, and the taste of it, too. Apple butter makes a great gift. The best news of all is how easy it is to make. With only 5 ingredients and one pan, you can easily make your own apple butter. All you need is the following ingredients.

Easy Apple Butter

8 cups unsweetened applesauce, any brand
5 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine all ingredients thoroughly in large casserole dish.

Bake until thick, stirring several times while baking. It will take about an hour to an hour and a half, and it will thicken some as it cools, too. Remove from oven and let cool.

You can spoon it in to clean baby food jars for gifts. Be sure to tell your recipients to refrigerate the apple butter. It is delicious on biscuits, toast and pork.

    Wow. This sounds so easy. I never knew you could make it with pre-canned applesauce. Makes sense, though. This recipe is worth a try.

    Love this! I love making apple butter as well; especially the yummy fresh taste and the great aroma it gives. My recipe doesn't have vinegar. I'll have to try that ...
