Layers of Happiness

0 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1 Core and cut the apples into large chunks (about 8 pieces per apple).
2 Add the apples to a large dutch oven or large oven safe skillet.
3 Cover with a lid and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the apples are very soft and tender.
4 Pour all of the apples + liquid in the pan to a blender. Blend until very smooth.
5 Pour the blended apples back into the pot. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes at a time. Stir in between each 15 minutes so the apple butter doesn’t burn. The apple butter is done when it’s a dark caramel color.
6 Let cool and then store in an airtight container
