Best Grandma Horners Dutch Apple Butter Recipes
GRANDMA HORNER'S DUTCH APPLE BUTTER
Rich and delicious! As a child I didn't realize how good this apple butter was. When a friend ruined a batch of apple butter, she asked me if I had a good recipe and I gave her this recipe. She made it and raved over it. So did everyone that received jars from her as gifts, including me! This year, I made it myself. I got apple seconds for a great price at a local orchard and had a great time making it and thinking of my grandmother. Tips: I used a variety of baking apples (Don't use eating apples, some can be grainy).

Steps:
- Wash apples thoroughly. Use apple slicer to slice apples. Discard core.
- In large pot, boil apples (with skins on) in water until soft (approx. 15 min.).
- Drain apples. Discard water.
- Run apples through food mill to remove skins and turn apples to pulp.
- In large pot, bring cider to a boil and add apple pulp and brown sugar.
- Lower temp to simmer. Stir frequently in a figure 8 to prevent burning. You will need to check on it often and be prepared -- it takes time for it to reduce.
- When it reduces/thickens, add cinnamon, allspice and cloves.
- Let it thicken to desired spreading consistency.
- Follow canning procedures to jar apple butter. (Note: When jarring, I allow 1" head space to prevent apple butter from darkening at top). I can't remember exactly how many jars it makes, but I think it is around 3-4 quart jars or 7-8 pints.
- Serve on bread, toast, muffins, or on cottage cheese.

GRANDMA'S APPLE BUTTER
This is the best recipe for Apple Butter that I have ever made. My Grandma taught me how to make this years ago. Posting so that I will never lose it! I am not exactly sure on the exact yield - it's been a while since I've made this.

APPLE BUTTER IN THE OVEN
I went apple picking and knew I wanted to make apple butter, but I also knew I didn't want to stir it for hours on the stove. I was glad to find recipes for baking it at a low temperature instead. I adapted one I found to make this spiced, not-too-sweet treat! I like it on toast or over oatmeal. Keep refrigerated for a few days, or freeze for later use.

Steps:
- Combine apples, apple cider, brown sugar, and salt in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and allspice. Bring to a simmer. Cover partially and cook until apples are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Remove whole spices from the pot with a slotted spoon. Reserve cinnamon and star anise; discard cloves and allspice. Puree apples with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and return cinnamon and star anise to the pot.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven, stirring every 30 minutes, until apple butter thickens and deepens in color, about 3 hours. Let cool completely. Discard cinnamon and star anise before transferring to airtight containers.
