Ingredients:
3 qt Unsweetened Applesauce
2 lb Granulated Sugar
1 lb Brown Sugar
3/4 c Apple Cider

Instructions:

1/2 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Allspice
3/4 ts Cloves
3 ts Cinnamon

The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier
texture that's best for applesauce.
Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325
deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires
long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
