Ingredients

  • cup apple cider 
  • lbs apples mixed good cored peeled cut into large chunks (such as Fuji, Granny Smith, or Courtland)
  • 0.1 teaspoons ground allspice 
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 0.1 teaspoon ground cloves 
  • 0.3 teaspoon nutmeg 
  • tablespoons juice of lemon 
  • cups granulated sugar white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • pot
  • blender

Directions

  1. Place apple and apple cider in a large heavy pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until apples are completely tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Place half of the apples in the jar of a blender and purée until completely smooth.
  3. Pour into a medium bowl and repeat with remaining apples.
  4. Pour puréed apples back into large pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Continue to simmer, uncovered, until sauce turns a deep brown and thickens, about 1 to 2 hours, stirring regularly to prevent burning.
  5. Let apple butter cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
