Apple Butter in the Oven Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Apple Butter in the Oven Recipe). I went apple picking and knew I wanted to make apple butter, but I also knew I didn't want to stir it for hours on the stove. I was glad to find recipes for baking it at a low temperature instead. I adapted one I found to make this spiced, not-too-sweet treat! I like it on toast or over oatmeal. Keep refrigerated for a few days, or freeze for later use.
