Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds organic apples (about 6 small apples), cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, combine the apples, water, and spices. Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer with the lid ajar until the apples are saucy and broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the apples to a food processor or Vitamix and puree until smooth. Transfer back to the pot and continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning, until the mixture thickens a bit, takes on a slightly darker color, and has a more concentrated apple flavor, about 15 minutes more.
  • Cool the apple butter to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

SUGAR FREE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER

Another Graham Kerr wonder! From his cookbook "Simply Splenda". In his words, "This is dense, thick and dark brown, just like my grandmother made. The apple peels are left on to add pectin." **** Cooks Note: Apple butter can be used in baking - can replace up to 1/2 of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients. You may need to reduce sugar in recipes since the apple butter is already sweetened. . P.S. It's also wonderful on plain old toast or waffles!
