Categories Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

6 large red apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

In a large stock pot, boil apples in about 6 cups of water. Boil on medium high without the lid for 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent apples from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
When the water level starts to boil down and the apples have just enough water to even out, add the sugar and cinnamon. Stir and boil for another 20 minutes.
The apples should darken and caramelize in texture. Using a potato masher, mash in the apples to preferred consistency.
Turn off the burner and allow the apples to cool for a while. Once they have cooled, you can store them in air tight containers and use it as a topping for ice cream, cakes, on toast, or even with fresh yogurt. They will stay fresh for about a week in the refrigerator or can be stored longer in the freezer.

Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1 hour. Stir with whisk if desired to increase the smoothness
Spoon mixture into clean freezer containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze
**** You can add more sugar (up to 4 cups) but I like mine just a little tart but still sweet. I don't think I would ever use more than 2 cups even if the Apples are tart.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: For the best apple spread, use a variety of apples that are naturally sweet and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Peel and core the apples: Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove the skin and seeds, which can give the spread a bitter taste.
Cook the apples until they are soft: Cook the apples until they are very soft and can be easily mashed. This will help to create a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Add spices and sugar to taste: Add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to taste. You can also add sugar or honey to sweeten the spread, if desired.
Can the apple spread: If you want to preserve the apple spread for longer, you can can it. Process the jars of apple spread in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Homemade apple spread is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be spread on toast, bagels, or muffins, or used as a filling for pies and tarts.
