Apple Butter

2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoons Honey
Juice from 1/4 Lemon

The key to getting that thick, rich apple butter consistency is cooking it low and slow to evaporate the liquid without scorching the sugars. It should be a thick spreadable consistency when you are done. If you grab a big spoonful of apple butter, it should stay mounded on the spoon and not run off the edges.

Spread the applesauce in the bottom of a thick bottomed skillet. The more surface area there is for evaporation – the quicker your apple butter will be ready to enjoy, so pick a bigger one if you can.
Turn your burner to the lowest setting. Stir in the cinnamon, syrup, honey and lemon juice.

Continue to cook over low heat stirring every half hour until it is thick and the consistency that you like.

Wait until it cooks down before adding extra sweetener or spices so you have a chance to taste the actual product and adjust accordingly.
Feel free to add nutmeg, ginger, allspice
