Down here at our Publix stores, they have their store brand in sweetened and unsweetened. Motts or Musselmans also has unsweetened. I'm not sure what brands your store carries. If all else fails, make some homemade applesauce. I've made over a hundred pounds of it so far and it's really simple. I'm taking pictures and will be posting that later this week.

Thanks Darlene, I saw Motts but it had sugar and corn syrup. I grew up in Florida, Tampa and I haven't thought about Publix in years, remember going with my mom. Can't wait to make apple butter.

Uhmm. OK here is a dumb question. What is apple butter ? I mean how do you use it. I see it everywhere and I think my grandma made some when I was little. But for the life of me I cant remember. (I guess my memory is the first to go)


Smeared on buttered toasted Raisin Bread is best!! Now where is that diet book? Oh yeah, I ate it with some apple butter!
Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance.

I used Rome apples for my apple butter that I made from apple sauce.

Well I certainly didn't expect them to eat 12 pints when they have never eaten so much as a tablespoon of it before now. It was just that good!

This was the first time I ever did apple butter. It worked out really well. Now I am going to have the extended family taste test to see if it passes there seal of approval. THANKS for the great instructions. I need them, being pretty new to canning I can use all the help I can get.

I can't believe the instructions...I feel like I just enter canning for dummies...Thank you so much...Your time and patience is greatly appreciated...

Right now I have macs and Granny's ripe....I do have an apple orchard less than 2000 feet down the road and we do trade him veggies for apples so if you had your choice of any apple, which apple would you use for applebutter?


Can you teach me to Can, Dehydrate, skin, cook, kill, load, pick, pickle, plant, trap, and use the right herbs to survive...

I would probably use the macs for apple butter/apple sauce and the Granny's for pie filling.

Okay, so I am behind the times. Actually it just seems like I take my applesauce (homemade with sugar and cinnamon) and cook it down until nice and thick and then process. Does that sound right? I have LOTS of fresh apples to use up and a hubby that likes apple butter.

HappyCamper. I am in upstate NY and I believe our local apple orchards only grow Cortlands? I can get them easily for about a dollar a pound so applesauce and apple butter are July's sweet canning I think, along with other fruit jam I hope. Whatever these apples are, they are soft and yellowish inside and make superb applesauce so would be good for the apple butter. I love apple butter!

Okay I'm about to sound stupid here since I'm clueless, but I thought you said in the other forum that you aren' t supposed to can butter. How is apple butter different so that it can be canned?

Butter is grease, apple butter is smashed apples, spices and sugar.

When in question, you can look at the ingredients. Like Leah said, butter is an oil base and the apple butter is just apples, sugar and spices. It just spreads like a butter per se, which might be why someone long ago named it 'apple butter'.
