There is also something called applestroop, or apple syrup.  If you're interested, I can find a Dutch recipe for you tomorrow.  It tends to have fewer spices and may be better as a glaze than apple butter.

That's interesting. I did a quick check for recipes and found a few. Seems easy enough to make but it would be nice to compare them with what you come up with. Thanks so much.

Haven't found anything yet but I'll keep on looking.

@ElsieD ... Thanks for your suggestion of applestroop, something I've not heard of.  I dug up a number of recipes and techniques, and feel that I can whip up something satisfactory. Your effort is appreciated.  👍

Here's one method for applestroop.  This requires only apples and maybe a smidgen of sugar.  Other recipes I've found call for various spices, with no consistency from one to another.  I'd be tempted to try this one, but i don't have a juicer.  Maybe in the fall I'll try it when I can buy fresh apple juice at one of our local apple orchards.

Thanks, again.  I'll look at the recipe when I return from errands later this morning.

 

If I recall, you have a Vitamix ... Well, I, too, don't have a juicer, but I've been using my Vitamix model 5300 for making juice with excellent results.  Apart from the machine, the only thing needed is a method for straining the juice, and this is what I've been using to accomplish that:

I've been using the same bag for seven years. It's durable, of a good size, easy to clean, and free of harmful chemicals.

 

Apples are on my list to purchase this morning, and if I can get the kind I want, apple juice will be one of todays projects.

 

Thanks again!
