I found this very easy recipe for making Apple Butter which I love, and this recipe is too easy to pass up. I made a batch and love it. It is chunky than the processed stuff that you buy in the stores. About half way through the cooking process I noticed that the apples were still in slices so I use a masher (like the old fashion way to do potatoes) and mashed the apples up and that worked really well.
