Homemade Apple Butter
Report
Homemade Apple Butter consists of a variety of peeled and diced apples, apple cider, spices, and brown sugar that are baked in the oven on low heat for 3 hours until they are a deep golden brown color. This apple butter is great on toast, biscuits, or smear on pancakes.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds apple peeled and chopped
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ground cloves dash
- nutmeg dash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the apples, apple cider, brown sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a large French oven over medium heat. Bring to a simmer (partially covering) and cook until the apples are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, cloves and nutmeg. Puree the mixture using an immersion blender.
- Once pureed, bake uncovered, stirring every 30 minutes, until thickened and deep amber (about 3 hours). Remove from the oven and let the apple butter cool completely at room temperature. Then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate up to 5 days.
Notes
- *Nutritional calculations are estimated and may vary depending on serving size and ingredients.
- Yield - This recipe yields about 2 cups.
- Apples - Any apples you have on hand will work.

- Freeze - You can freeze leftover apple butter for up to 3 months. I suggest freezing in ice cub trays, then transferring to a freezer safe bag for easy individual servings.
