It seems to originate in ancient Rome! European medieval cooks were also making apple sauces to go with various meats, its tartness offsetting fattier foods. I know the Dutch eat it, and I have a good recipe for mashed potatoes with apples that goes well with pork.
I read also that when in medieval times people kept a pig and fattened it throughout the year to kill for winter, the pig would feed on the mellow apples that fell on their land, so nature seems to have a hand in it.
Here's a piece I found on it; scroll down to "Apple Sauce...":

It also says that Apple Butter is generally credited to people of German descent.

I think it from Alsace. I see it listed in cookbooks sometimes as an Alsatian dish, or at least some varience on the dish. Sometimes the apples are roasted whole. I haven't had that in a while, maybe next week for dinner?!?

I would guess it's American or German. Or German-American since apples were readily availible when people were settling in America.
