Mmmmm…This is fall season in a jar! It’s so warm, comforting, and delcious! It’s also really simple to make. These would be a great gift to give out to friends and family. Here’s what you’ll need to make this apple butter…
Homemade Apple Butter
Delicious Apple Butter
Scale
Ingredients
- about 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup of apple cider
- 2 cups of light brown sugar
- 1&1/2 t of ground cinnamon
- 1 t of nutmeg
- 1/2 t ground cloves
Instructions
- Place cider in the bottom of double boiler
- Place the apple slices on the top, with lid on, turn the heat up until cider starts to boil, then reduce heat to low/med and let simmer. Place lid on the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- You should still have cider in the bottom of the pan
- Transfer apples to a bowl and stir in the spices, sugar and the cider from the boiler
- Transfer the apples to a blender, or food processor and blend until smooth
- Transfer the blended apple butter to a pan (the bottom of the double broiler you used before will work)
- Cook on medium for about 5 more minutes
- While the mixture is still hot, distribute the butter into mason jars, add lids right away so the steam seals the jars. This makes about 2 pints.
