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
butterrequires
long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
