Blend, chop or food process the apples and strawberries together until smooth. (Smoother than this picture shows)

Pour all of this into a big pot and mix in:
1/3 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 tsp cinammon

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Then reduced to a simmer and stir ever 4-5 minutes. Cook for 30 minutes or until it’s as thick as you like.
Pour into jar, (if canning, do the canning process now) and allow to cool. If you’re not canning then store in the fridge.

This makes a really small batch which is great to do with the price of ALL food increasing. It made just enough for us to have a nice change away from Apple Butter now and again.
