This chai spice apple butter is deeply flavorful and intense. While it takes some time to make, it is not at all a difficult recipe. In this recipe, as with most cooking and baking, follow John Irving's (and Garp's) advice: use good ingredients. Don't take any shortcuts. I cannot give you exact measurements because I didn't measure exactly. I followed the procedure for making apple butter from Simply Recipes. If you are planning to can your apple butter, please follow their advice for sugar amounts. Since I was not planning on canning mine, I used less sugar than what might be considered safe for traditional canning. Please feel free to use your favorite spice blend and up the amounts as you see fit.
