Apple Butter
Servings: 1 cup
Make the most of apple season by making your own homemade Apple Butter! This spreadable apple-infused jam is so easy to make and is the perfect condiment to celebrate fall. Try it on toast, english muffins, pancakes, or scones!
Ingredients
- 1 lb apples such as Pink Lady
- ½ cup apple juice or cider
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Core the apples to remove seeds, peel the skins, and roughly chop into 1 pieces.
- Add the chopped apples, apple juice or cider, sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and salt to a high powered blender (such as a Vitamix) or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Transfer the puree to a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples have cooked down and reduced--45 minutes to an hour. When it is done, it will be able to hold firm lines when you run a whisk or spoon through it.
- Use warm right away, or transfer the apple butter to a half-pint Mason jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
