Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 large organic apples mix of tart and sweet varieties, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp
- 1/2 cup pure apple juice or cider
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey, coconut sugar, or maple powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch pinch of ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
- pinch pinch of salt optional, for flavor adjustment
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and core 6 large organic apples, selecting a mix of tart and sweet varieties such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp to balance the flavors.
- Dice the apples into small, even pieces to ensure uniform cooking and place them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- To the saucepan, add 1/2 cup of pure apple juice or cider to enhance the apple flavor and to provide liquid to aid in the cooking process.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, which will serve as a natural sweetener. Alternatively, you may use an equivalent amount of honey, coconut sugar, or maple powdered sugar as preferred.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves to the saucepan for the classic apple pie spice profile.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the apple mixture, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened and are starting to break down, typically taking about 20-25 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, and using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture in the saucepan until it reaches a smooth consistency. A food processor or traditional blender can also be used, working in batches if necessary.
- To the pureed apple mixture, incorporate 2 tablespoons of ghee, which is clarified butter, to provide a rich, buttery flavor while adhering to sattvic dietary practices. Alternatively, coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
- Once the apple butter reaches the desired consistency, similar to that of a soft spreadable jam, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more of the preferred sweetener and balance the flavors with a pinch of salt, stirring well to integrate.
