Apple Butter

Cut apples into chunks, but do not peel.

In a glass or stainless steel kettle, combine apples and cider.

Cover and cook over medium-high heat until apples are very soft, about 30 minutes. Press through a food mill or fine sieve and return to the cleaned pot.

Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 2 hours.

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate or freeze.
