Make apple-plum butter without constant stirring at the stove: toss chopped apples and pitted plums in a deep baking pan with sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and drizzle with apple cider vinegar. Bake for about an hour at 180 °C (350 °F), keeping the oven closed throughout baking. The apples naturally thicken the fruit butter, so after baking, simply blend it with an immersion blender, fill jars while it is hot, and turn them upside down.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Place the chopped apples and plums in a deep baking pan, cover with the sugar, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and drizzle with the vinegar.
Place in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F), using conventional (top and bottom heat), and bake for about 1 hour. Do not open the oven or stir the mixture during baking.
Remove from the oven and blend the entire mixture with an immersion blender.
Immediately fill clean jars with the hot fruit butter, seal tightly, and turn upside down.
Tip: Do not open the oven or stir the mixture during baking—the fruit cooks in its own juices.
