I can't give this recipe enough stars! It was so easy to make, and tastes great! I added a bit more spice to mine, along with a little bit of sugar. I don't like mine lumpy, so I added it to a blender to make it smoother. This got RAVE reviews from everyone who tried it. I made this as my wedding favor, and after the wedding, people are calling asking if I had leftover jars!

First time I made apple butter. Very easy to make. Will definetly make this recipe again. Per other comments, I reduced the amount of apple cider and spices. I used 2 cups of apple cider for 2lbs of apples. While the apples were cooking I put in 2 cloves. The apples only took about an hour to cook and soften. I put the cooked apples/cider in my food processer and added about 1/4 cup honey. I only put a pinch of cinnamon and allspice (I don't like it too spicey). Then I cooked the mixture on the stove about another 15 minutes. It looked like applesause on the stove. But after the batch had cooled overnight in the frig it had a very nice apple butter consistency, it wasn't like applesauce at all.

This recipe is a keeper! I doubled everything except the cloves and allspice, but I added 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. I also used locally grown Winesap apples that are not overly sweet and a bit tart.

This was my first time making or eating apple butter so I don't know how it is supposed to taste or look. But this recipe tastes very good! I cut all the spices in half and thought that it was plenty.

This is delicious!!! I followed other suggestions and used twice the apples and less spices. This is the best apple butter honey I have ever had and will taste great in other recipes.

First time I made Apple Butter and it was delicious!~ I had some honey apple cider (some taiwanese brand), only added the apples and cinnamon (no extra honey needed because it was sweet enough already) and it's great and feels healthy as well!

I like the flavor of the apple butter and I really like the fact that it doesn't use sugar. My only issue and the reason i gave four stars instead of five was that it is a little to thin. I think next time I make this I will use 2 cups of cider instead of three. Has a great flavor though and you would never know there isn't any sugar in it.

This recipe is overall a good recipe, however the spices about blew me away. WAY too much cloves and allspice, I would suggest, as others have, to reduce to about 1/4 of the recommended amount. (Even less if you grind your own spices like I do.) I wish I had read those comments before I made it! It's edible, but a in small amounts, LOL! I agree that the honey gives a it great flavor, though, and I will make this again with less cloves and allspice, of course.
