First, easiest apple butter ever. Second, it tastes marvelous. Third, it doesn't make 8 quarts! You get a very usable amount of excellent apple butter. Started with unsweetened apple sauce and I used Splenda and a half amount of Splenda Brown and cooked it longer to get the consistency I wanted. I went with apple pie spice and it came out perfectly great. This will be made again before Christmas. :D

I also used unsweetened apple sauce. I used splenda for the sugar. But kept the brown sugar. I used only cinnamon so just a little bit more. This is so yummy. Thanks duonyte :) Made for PRMR tag game

A simple recipe that turned out great. I used unsweetened applesauce; otherwise, it may have been too sweet for my family's tastes. I will make this again.

Nice easy recipe. NOT apple butter. This is just cooked applesauce that was a little thicker than before it went in the bread machine. Followed directions except for cloves and allspice. I even added extra pectin. Half a teaspoon more. My bread machine has a jam cycle Good thing I like applesauce. .

Thank you very much for this recipe. It is excellent! I have loved apple butter since I was a child. I eat it on English muffins,biscuits and, potato pancakes and hate paying the outrageous price on the grocery store. As other reviewers stated, I used unsweetened applesauce and left out the clove as per my personal taste. I also cooked it quite a bit longer than the jam setting in my machine. Smucker's eat your heart out! I will only eat this recipe from now on.
