Cover, and bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium, and cook 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until apples have applesauce-like consistency.

When it came time to make the apple butter - my father shoved the pulp in the oven and was delighted to discover how quickly it cooked. We never made it stove-top again
