1
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut them into small chunks.
2
In a large pot, combine the apple chunks, balsamic vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften (about 15-20 minutes).
4
Once the apples are soft, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 hours until the mixture thickens and becomes spreadable.
5
Use an immersion blender to puree the apple mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, skip this step.
6
Allow the apple butter to cool, then transfer to jars and refrigerate.

7
On a slice of bread, spread a generous layer of apple butter.
8
Layer with Canadian bacon slices, followed by a leaf of lettuce.
9
Add slices of Brie cheese on top of the lettuce.
10
Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
11
Optionally, grill the sandwich on a skillet until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
