How To Make apple butter

  • 1
    Combine apples and cider in a large stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • 2
    Place apple mixture in a food processor; pulse 6 times or until chunky. Return to pan. (you could also mash by hand by pushing through a wire strainer with the back of a spoon, then repeating the process until you get the correct consistency)
  • 3
    Stir in sugar and remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat 1 hour or until thick, stirring occasionally. Discard cinnamon.Cover and chill.

    Note: Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 month. I like to save an old peanut butter jar that's been cleaned and sanitized.
