How to Make Baked Apple Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine 6 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 6 medium), 1 cup apple cider, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Bake, uncovered, for 2 1/2 hours, or until the apple butter has thickened considerably and is almost transparent, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before ladling the hot apple butter into sterilized jars.
  6. Seal jars tightly and let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
