Ingredients
- 5 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 c pure maple syrup
- 1/8 c water
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized pot over low heat. Cover and cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Apples should reduce and your house should smell like cinnamon heaven.
- Remove from the heat, uncover, and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend it up until you get a smooth, buttery mixture. You can also use a food processor or regular blender for this step.
- Serve your apple butter warm and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
