As mentioned previously, there are several ways to make this Amish apple butter. If you prefer to pressure cook your apple butter, you’ll f ollow the recipe, but place everything into your pressure cooker with 1 cup of liquid instead of a ¼ cup. Use the manual setting and cook on high pressure.
This traditional, double-crusted, Amish apple pie is delicious and very easy to make. Its aroma will make your house smell heavenly. Preheat oven to 400°. Peel, core, and chop apples. Mix sugars, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Add to apples and stir to coat. Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot with thin slices of butter.
Am curious, didnt see any about pressure can applebutter? Yes, apples are high acid, so apple butter is safe for processing in the water bath canner. No pressure canner required! I live in the south where during the middle spring the temperature is in the high 80’s and at might in the high 60’s to low 70’s.
No caramel should not be added to the apple butter. You could probably add caramel when you open the jar to use it though. I’d try heating it up a little and stir in a caramel sauce.
