Allspiced Apple Butter

• 3 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1 pound light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon allspice, preferably freshly ground

1. Place the apples in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat.
2. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the brown sugar and spices; continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 30 minutes more.
4. To test for doneness, place a spoonful of the mixture on a white plate and let sit for 20 seconds.
5. If a ring of liquid forms around the apples, there is still too much liquid in the mixture.
6. Continue cooking and testing until no ring forms.
