Applesauce/Apple Butter

Ingredients

  • 6 lb. apples (~18 medium apples), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 c. apple juice or apple cider
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ – ½ cup brown sugar
  • Optional ingredients (to taste—probably start around 1 tsp):
    • cinnamon (required for apple butter)
    • nutmeg
    • allspice

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • For apple butter ingredients should be put in a crock pot and cooked on low for 6+ hours until there is minimal moisture left.
  2. Blend the mixture in a blender until smooth.
    • If you prefer applesauce that isn’t fully smooth you can mash with a potato masher instead and then mix with a hand mixer (that method takes longer)
