REDUCED SUGAR SPICED APPLE BUTTER



Reduced Sugar Spiced Apple Butter image

I was tired of finding apple butter recipes with more sugar than apples, so I adapted a few and perfected it. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic and tastes like fall. Enjoy! If you do not have an immersion blender: allow cooked apples to cool, transfer to a regular blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor. If the texture is too liquidy still, return to slow cooker and allow it to reduce for about another hour more. This recipe is really about adjusting to your taste. If you like a lighter color, cook it less. If you want it highly spiced, throw on the cloves, etc. This recipe freezes well.

Tips:

  • To make the apple butter, you will need a few key ingredients: apples, sugar, spices, and lemon juice. You can use any type of apples, but tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove the bitter taste that the skin and seeds can impart.
  • You can use a variety of spices to flavor the apple butter. Common choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add a bit of heat with cayenne pepper or ginger.
  • Cook the apple butter over low heat until it has thickened. This may take several hours, but it is important to be patient. The longer you cook the apple butter, the thicker and more flavorful it will be.
  • Once the apple butter has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to jars or containers and seal them tightly. The apple butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. So next time you have a few apples on hand, be sure to try making your own apple butter.
