Hi Kim, I asked my mother if she remembered how to make applebutter and she gave me a rough idea. She is 82. Peel & slice apples, add sugar according to amount of apples you have, add cinnamon red drops, and cook slowly in large cast iron pot, oudoors if possible over open flame. Cook slowly and all day. When cooled put in jars. If someone has a more exact receipe, please let us know. Mary
