Instructions: In a 2 quart pan, cook sliced apples and cider over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples reach the consistency of applesauce. Remove mixture from heat and push through a fine colander before returning to pan and adding brown sugar and cinnamon candies. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, until very thick. When a bit is dropped on a glass plate and it holds its shape, the apple butter is done. Pour cooled apple butter into a glass container and refrigerate.

YIELD: 2 cups

Badams report: made this recipe and found it to be very tasty, easy to make, very little cleanup. Will be yummy on biscuits and toast and maybe just all by itself, a spicy, thick applesauce. Thanks to Nancy Berry for sharing it. :)

NOTES : My thanks to Nancy Berry who posted this Spicy Apple Butter recipe to the MC-Recipe list. I made it and its very good. Yum. Will eat it as applesauce (why not?) and as a spread for biscuits and toast. Fat is almost zero and tastes like heaven!
