The apples will make more of a difference than the recipe does. If you
have to buy supermarket apples, Golden Delicious will probably work
better than most readily available varieties unless you can find
McIntosh. Don't be tricked into using Granny Smith; they cook about as
bad as Red Delicious.

I have Barb's apple butter recipe here, as printed in _Edible Twin
Cities_ magazine a couple of years ago. I can scan it and post it if
you want (the recipe is simple enough, but the write-up that comes with
it is quite lengthy and informative)
