This was almost perfect, but it still needed something. I called my neighbor (age 97) and she said apple butter needs a little zing at the very end--the old-timers used cider vinegar, but she thought lemon juice would do. I put in 2 tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar and got the result I was looking for: old-timey apple butter. I used half sugar and half Splenda--fewer carbs but tastes delicious. Perfect, like the old-timers used to make.
