I've never made it, but it's basically taking apples and cooking them down to a dark liquid with the consistency of thick applesauce. Have to stir it by hand constantly in big kettles, usually takes 12 to 16 hours from what I've heard folks say. I'd wager it has cinnamon and a few other seasonings in it based on the taste.
When it comes to food I'm more into quality control than preparation.

Several years ago, I started a jelly & jam business. Did it for a good while. The name was Wild Bush Jelly's and more. I made wild grape, mesquite bean, big red,cactus,mango,jalapeno,tomato ,ect.ect.
My best selling was apple butter,rootbeer,coke cola. I dedcided if there was a juice for something I could make jelly out of it.
Apple butter is not that hard to make. Just alot of time.Some people peel them,I didn't Thats where your dark color comes from. I would cut them half ,core and cook until soft. I would take the peeling and run it thru a food processor. Chop them up real fine and add it to the mixer. Add sugar,cinnamon,cloves and cook some more. Ladle in to hot jars and you are done.
I think its 1/2 c. of sugar to a lb. of apples. I don't make mine real sweet. It's really a matter of taste. Start with a teaspoon of cinnamon and a 1/2 t. of cloves.

Having owned and operated a commercial apple orchard, I am familiar with apple butter. For my taste, Golden Delicious makes the best apple butter. Sweet but not too sweet. I have seen apple butter made in Va., Wv., Nc., Ky., western Md., Pa, and Ny., but I am sure other areas make it also. Watch feeding whole apples as cow candy, because, I have seen cows choke to death on whole apples. Grind the apples up, or allow the apples to get soft and mushy before feeding .

Sounds yummy. I will be anxious to see the recipe for apple butter. My mom used to make it but all of her recipes were taken by my brother's sister and we will never see them again.... anyway sure was good stuff. On toast, with pork chops, mom's homemade bread and rolls, on cottage cheese and....
