This easy homemade apple butter recipe is delicious and makes your home smell amazing while it cooks.

This fall preserve can be served as a bread topping or condiment; try it with pork chops.

If you have a pressure cooker, you can save time and make Instant Pot Apple Butter a little quicker.

Ingredients

5 medium apples, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup honey

1/8 cup apple cider

1-1/2 tablespoon All-Spice

Instructions

Combine apples, brown sugar, and honey in a large pot.

When apples fall apart and are tender, remove them from heat.

Stir in All-Spice.

Transfer to blender or food processor and puree until smooth

 

Notes

 
A mixture of apple varieties, rather than just one type, will produce apple butter with rich, complex flavor in this recipe.
