APPLE BUTTER 
5 cups apple pulp
3 cups sugar
1 tbsp. cloves (ground)
1 tbsp. allspice
1 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
juice of 1 lemon (optional)

Wash, core and peel apples, then chop. In a heavy pan or slow cooker, cook down apples (with spices) until pulp is thick and brown, stirring often (this will take at least several hours).

Transfer to half-pint jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rim clean and adjust two-piece caps.

Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

I made a batch for the first time to be canned. I used the recipe from the National Center for Home Food preservation. What a disappointment. All that work and it tastes like cinnamon and vinegar. Going to try your recipe. No vinegar, looks darn good.
