Wow, 53 quarts! That's a lot of canning! I know what you mean about it not lasting long, though.
The smell of apples cooking is so delicious! We canned applesauce this year, 53 qts. Not sure how long it will last, it is so yummy!
I should try applebutter sometime, not this year, maybe next year. 🙂 I'm done with canning for this season, time to focus on the new coming baby. 🙂

I'll have to try it in the crock-pot next time–it sounds wonderful and delicious!

Joy,
Here is one link about making apple butter and I thought you might want to know about elevation time of water bathing the jars after you fill them. I am at 2200 feet so I have to give a water bath of 10 min. for pint size jars. I thought you might want to know for your tutorial and sharing this with others.
Blessings!

Yes, I have made mine in the crockpot too. I basically core the apples, chop into chunks, cook it for a while. I then mash it while it still is in the crockpot and add honey and cinnamon. It comes out fantastic!!
Good Old Household~
Thanks!

This is a very easy recipe!
I have never made applesauce, but I love it. I may have to try after reading how easy you make it sound!
Mmmm.. sounds even more delicious! ;o)

You're welcome! Someone else had also requested this recipe, and I thought perhaps people had apples they needed to use *right now*! 🙂 Let me know if you like it!
Maria~
It is a delicious scent!
Lori~
Thank you so much for your kind words! I bet you could probably use any applesauce for this recipe. If you try it I hope it works out for you!
Mary~
I've seen lots of crock-pot recipes for this, and that looks like it would be easy too. 🙂
Leigh~
You're welcome!

I thought this recipe was very easy, and it didn't require any special equipment (that I don't have). Thanks for your comment! 🙂
I love apple butter and yours sounds easier than the other ones I've seen. Yum. Such a comfort food classic. 🙂
Oh my goodness Joy! You sweet thing! Thank you for sharing the recipe. We live in apple country in NY and are always on the lookout for recipes. Thank you again!

Oh the scent of apples cooking – delicious 🙂
I got apples and I got a oven and I'm gonna makes some. [o= I made it in a crock pot I think last time but I am looking forward to trying this out.

Wonderful recipe, Joy, thank you so much for sharing it! I wonder if I could just use my store-bought organic applesauce to make this? I didn't have time to go apple picking this year (we're from Chicagoland), but my Meijers had their organic sauce on sale for $2.19 a jar, so I stocked up on it. I do not put any sugar in my own sauces, so my butter would likely take more sugar. I love it that you've got an oven-based recipe…when I think of making apple butter, I always see the big copper kettle on a tripod over an outdoor wood fire, LOL! It's a romantic and alluring picture, but not so practical 🙂
Many blessings to you…I so enjoy reading your blog! You are a lovely young wife and mom 🙂

Wow, that was quick! Thanks so much for the recipe. I intend to try it and I'll let you know how it goes:) BTW, I made the pumpkin waffles last night for dinner. Doubled the recipe and we'll have at least three breakfasts worth in the freezer. Love it! 😉
