Easy Stovetop Apple Butter
This easy stovetop apple butter is what fall dreams are made of! When a bushel of apples are cooked low & slow with brown sugar, warm spices, apple cider, and a touch of molasses and vanilla, it results in an apple butter so delicious you could eat it by the spoonful!

Continue cooking for an additional hour, stirring occasionally until thick and a deep shade of brown.
- Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Step 5
To get an extra smooth apple butter, pour it through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
