I am sharing my recipe for Easy Apple Butter that is prepared using unsweetened apple sauce from jars.
I will most often make my applesauce from Early Apples which start coming in July. These would be cooking apples.
Other times I make butter with sauce I had done in Autumn. But I don’t always make enough and sometimes run out.
Using this recipe you can make more apple butter with either jarred sauce or some you have canned or frozen.
I recommend using stove top in this recipe, keeping it covered with a splatter screen. It does require increasing amounts of stirring to prevent scorching.
So keep the heat down and plan to do other things in the kitchen between stirs.
