Thanks so much for the link and the translation.  For some reason, truly unknown to me, I thought the origins of apple butter were in England.

 

Since I've only had apple butter once, probably about 50 years ago, and never as a glaze of any sort, I really don't know what I'm looking for.  However, when I make apple sauce, I like to keep it simple, and never add sugar or flavorings with the sometimes exception of a touch of lemon juice.

 

I'll start simply with a small batch on the stovetop.  I don't own a slow cooker, although I understand that the Instant Pot can be used as one.  Maybe I'll look into that.

 

Anyway, thanks again.

Apple butter originated in Holland and Germany.  Here is one recipe. Translation of ingredients in order:

 

Apples, peeled and cored

Light brown sugar

Vanilla sugar

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Ginger

Cloves

All spices are ground.  Eetlepel is tablespoon, theelepel is teaspoon.

 

Put everything in a slow cooker and cook for 10 hours on low, stirring every now and again.  Puree.  Put back in a pot and reduce to desired consistency.

 

I read some of the reviews and a few people thought the spicing was a bit heavy.  Someone suggested using half.  Personally I'm not a big fan of cloves so I'd reduce that for sure.  Anyways, I hope this is akin to what you're looking for.
