REDUCED SUGAR SPICED APPLE BUTTER



Reduced Sugar Spiced Apple Butter image

I was tired of finding apple butter recipes with more sugar than apples, so I adapted a few and perfected it. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic and tastes like fall. Enjoy! If you do not have an immersion blender: allow cooked apples to cool, transfer to a regular blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor. If the texture is too liquidy still, return to slow cooker and allow it to reduce for about another hour more. This recipe is really about adjusting to your taste. If you like a lighter color, cook it less. If you want it highly spiced, throw on the cloves, etc. This recipe freezes well.

SPICED APPLE BUTTER

I do this in a slow cooker and let it go for a long, long time. Gets a nice, carmelly flavor this way.

Provided by Ms. Valeriah

Categories     Low Protein

Time 18h30m

Yield 8 cups, 128 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 lbs apples, tart, cored sliced and peeled
2 cups unsweetened apple juice
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh ground

Steps:

  • Prep apples as directed, combine in slow cooker with apple juice (or cider), brown sugar and spices, cook overnight and into the next day if you can, stirring occasionally - 18 hours or so is optimal. You want the mixture to reduce down significantly. Once the apples are to more or less applesauce consistency, apply an immersion blender to puree the mixture to a velvety texture or put it through a food mill. Once the liquid no longer separates quickly after it's stirred, it's ready to jar up and process. Pour into sterilized jars, process in hot water bath for 10-15 minutes.

AMAZING SPICED APPLE BUTTER



Amazing Spiced Apple Butter image

I was in Tennessee for business and ran across an apple farm near Pikeville. Went in and had lunch in their restaurant and grabbed a peck of Shizuka apples. They are a green apple with a hint of pear and sweetness about them. They made a wonderful apple butter. I cannot wait to get back to that part of Tennessee and,...

Categories     Fruit Sauces

Time 13h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 peck of apples. i used shizuka apples (similar to golden delicious)
2 1/4 c sugar
1 1/4 c light brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 tsp butter flavoring
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (i used espresso balsamic)

Steps:

  • 1. Wash, peel and core apples. I used a peck, which contained about 10 pounds. I used Shizuka apples, which had a slight pear taste to them. Dice them.
  • 2. Mix the dry ingredients (sugars and seasonings) in a bowl.
  • 3. Layer the apples and seasoning in your crock pot. Fill to the top, they will cook down. (OK sorry - it all has to go here - the site will not let me add another step). Let cook for about 10 - 12 hours (depends on your crock pot). Stir occasionally. When done and a deep brown, use an immersion blender or a mixer to blend. Add in the liquid seasonings (balsamic, vanilla and butter). Let it cook about 2 to 3 hours with the lid off. (Until it reaches your desired consistency). I ladeled into half pint jars (9 total) and 1 quart jar. I hot water processed them at a low boil for about 15 minutes. All sealed perfectly. The apple butter is divine. I am going to have to make another batch. These 9 jars are going fast.

SPICED ORANGE APPLE BUTTER



Spiced Orange Apple Butter image

I absolutely love apple butter. I wanted to try something different and orange was the first thing that came to mind. I always love the flavor of orange this time of year. It worked so well I thought I would share it with all my foodie friends.

Provided by Tammy Brownlow

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb apples, a mixture of your favorite
1/2 can(s) undiluted frozen orange juice concentrate
2 tsp fresh ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1 pinch ground cardamom seed
1/2 c sugar for every cup of apple mixture

Steps:

  • 1. In a dutch oven add peeled, seeded, and quartered apples with 1/2 cup water and frozen oj concentrate.
  • 2. Cool and puree in a food processor until thick. Measure back into dutch oven. Add 1/2 cup sugar for every cup of apple mixture. Then add spices and cook on low for 2 hours.
  • 3. Pour into sterilized jars and secure lid. Leave about 1/4 inch from the top.
  • 4. Process in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best-tasting apple butter, use a mix of sweet and tart apples. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help the apple butter to have a smooth consistency.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is the best way to make apple butter because it allows the flavors to develop slowly and evenly.
  • Add spices: To add flavor to the apple butter, add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Cook the apple butter until it is thick and spreadable: This will take about 8-10 hours on low in a slow cooker.

Conclusion:

Apple butter is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, pancakes, or waffles, or used as a filling for pies and tarts. It can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies. Apple butter is a great way to use up extra apples, and it makes a great gift for friends and family.
