Lower Sugar Spicy All-Day Apple Butter image

This is my version of all day apple butter using more apples, less sugar, and a wider range of spices. It earned me a permanent supply of free apples from my local farmer friend, and I promise it will make you some new friends too!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more spices and maybe a little bit of vinegar.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my apple butter turned out really thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

This apple butter is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time.

I love that this recipe uses less sugar than traditional apple butter. It's still plenty sweet, but it's not too overwhelming.
