This quick and easy apple butter recipe uses fresh apples, cinnamon, and a splash of apple juice for a naturally sweet spread that's perfect on toast, oatmeal, or even as a dip.
Servings: 1.5 cups
Calories: 132kcal
Ingredients
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped (I like to use Gala, Pink Lady, or Fuji)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon apple juice, apple cider or water
- optional: maple syrup or honey, to taste if needed
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a sauce pan over low heat.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until apples are fork tender.
- Smash apples with a potato masher or back of a spoon. We like some chunks, but if you prefer a smoother texture, puree in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
- Cool and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Keep homemade apple in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
