30 Pounds of Applesauce

[Ysarex]

Okay. You've got me stumped. And darned curious. What the heck is apple butter?

Apple butter is spiced applesauce (cinnamon, allspice, cloves) laboriously boiled down (constant stirring) to a much thicker consistency than applesauce. The extended cooking time caramelizes the sugars and intensifies the sweetness -- think cinnamon apple candy. A thick layer of apple butter over hot buttered toast with coffee; it doesn't get any better.

^What he said, although it's not nearly as sticky sweet as it might sound like from that description. It's a spread that you can put on toast, sandwiches, etc. It's hard to describe, but it's delicious!
One of my favorite sandwiches is using apple butter (or peach butter) instead of jelly on my PB&J sandwiches.
