For a smoother apple butter, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture after the initial 10 hours of cooking. Be careful, as the mixture will be hot! Adjust the spices to your preference. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, add an extra ½ teaspoon. To test for doneness, place a spoonful of apple butter on a chilled plate. If it doesn't spread rapidly and the liquid doesn't separate, it's ready. This apple butter can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for longer storage.
