No need to google, it's p**s easy!
Peel, core & chop your apples. Then weigh. Then weigh out half the quantity in sugar.
Put apples in a big heavy pan with a sploosh of water in the bottom so they don't catch, and cook on a low heat until they're a soft, fluffy mush, stirring every now and again.
Then add the sugar, stirring until the sugar is all dissolved.
Turn up the heat a little and cook right down to a gloopy consistency (similar for chutney) - when you drag a wooden spoon through the mix, the line on the bottom of the pot will not fill up immediately. This may take an hour or two, depending on quantity.
Jar and seal while hot.
You can do this with pears, plums and other stone fruit. It's a good way of using up a glut. Fruit butters make good cake fillings as well.
