Apple Butter Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    In a large pot, combine the peeled and chopped apples with a splash of water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the cooked apples until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Sweeteners and Spices

    Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Cook Down the Mixture

    Simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and darkens in color, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool. Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or can for longer storage.
