3 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup apple cider
1 cup light brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Place the apples, cider, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and allspice in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring and mashing the apples occasionally. When ready, the apple butter should be golden brown and very thick. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Store in a tight container in the refrigerator.
