whats the difference between apple butter and apple sauce?

Question

could i use apple sauce in a recipe that calls for apple butter? and if so, what spices should i add to the sauce to make it more like the butter?

Answer 1

Here;

Apple butter...
The name comes from its smooth and buttery texture. Apple butter is delicious on buttered toast.

4 lbs of good cooking apples (we use Granny Smith or Gravenstein)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
Sugar (about 4 cups, see cooking instructions)
Salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon

Apple sauce...
Applesauce (or apple sauce) is a sauce that is made from stewed and mashed apples. Sometimes, apple sauce is sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup; sometimes it is pure. It can use peeled or unpeeled apples and a variety of spices or additives like cinnamon. Applesauce can be fine or coarse textured, even to including large chunks of apple. It is easily produced at home, and commercial versions are readily available in the supermarket as a common food or as a snack for children.

Answer 4

Apple sauce is usually 90% apples with a little sugar for taste...apple butter has more ingredients.

APPLE BUTTER
8 cups cored, peeled and sliced apples (about 8 medium)
About 4-1/2 cups water, added intermittently
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
Dash of salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Place apples and about 3/4 cup of water into heavy oven-proof saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and cook until apples are soft. Mash until fairly smooth. Stir in brown sugar, salt and spices. Place in 300° F oven and continue to cook until dark brown. Add water as needed when mixture dries out. Cook until thick and spreadable. The entire process will take about 6 hours. Check the apple butter about every hour and stir well. Taste for seasoning and sweetness. If canning, place the apple butter in a pot on top of the stove and heat well. Fill sterilized half-pint or pint jars with hot apple butter, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes at an altitude up to 1,000 feet, 10 minutes from 1,000 - 6,000 feet. Add 5 minutes processing time at each altitude for quart jars. (Processing times are based on guidelines provided by the USDA National Food Safety Database.)
