Actually the act of ridding the apples of excess water and concentrating the
pectins creates apple butter along with the mingling of flavors from the
spices during the long slow cooking. I must disagree that apple butter is  the
same as aplle sauce except for the sugar content. Apple butter can be made
(indeed, that is how I make mine) without any added sweetener.
