Notes

For extra tips, ensure the apples are evenly chopped to facilitate uniform cooking. The type of apples used can alter the sweetness and consistency, so adjust the sugar levels according to taste. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking. Apple butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for longer preservation.
