- Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
You can also can the finished apple butter in a water bath canner. Process the jars for 10 minutes. I only used 1 cup of sugar because the apples I had were sweet enough on their own. Feel free to taste and adjust the sugar accordingly!
