--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      quarts        unsweetened applesauce
   2      pounds        granulated sugar
   1      pound         brown sugar
     3/4  cup           apple cider
                        -----spices-----
     1/2  teaspoon      nutmeg
     1/4  teaspoon      allspice
     3/4  teaspoon      cloves
   3      teaspoons     cinnamon
 

Preparation:

The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier texture that's best for applesauce. Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.
