Can it be any easier? To cut down on some of the sugar try Splenda's brown sugar instead of regular brown sugar.

How To Make apple butter

Step 1

Place apples and cider in a large stock pot. Cover and bring to a boil over med-hi heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in sugars, spices and lemon juice. Simmer an hour, until very thick. For easy spreading, it should be of a very smooth consistency.

Step 2

If freezing, pour hot apple butter into freezer containers, leaving 1/2" headspace. Cover and freeze.
