I end up with chunky apple sauce. If I leave it on for 10-12 hours (and add a few spices) I get apple butter!

So I peel and core my apples, saving the peels and cores for later (I freeze ’em). Then when I have time after making applesauce I’ll make apple butter from the peels and cores. I simmer them in apple cider till they’re soft, and then I force them thru a fine mesh strainer with the back of a wooden spoon. It’s the poor man’s food mill!! Ha ha!
This year though I’m tempted to make apple jelly with some of my cores and peels.
