Equipment

  • Small Dutch Oven
  • Immersion Blender
  • Pint-Sized Jar

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb Granny Smith apples about 4, peeled & diced
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ginger
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cloves

Instructions

  • Peel and dice the apples then place them into a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the apple cider, white sugar, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Bring the apple mixture to a boil.
  • Partially cover and reduce heat to medium-low then simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very, very tender and falling apart, about 30 minutes.
  • Purée the apples with an immersion blender until super smooth and creamy.
  • Cover and reduce heat to the lowest setting and simmer for 1½-1¾ hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Let the apple butter cool to room temperature, then transfer to an air-tight container to refrigerate for 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Enjoy.
