Apple butter is a delicious and versatile fruit spread made from apples, sugar, and spices. Despite its name, it doesn’t actually contain butter. Instead, the term “butter” in this context refers to the smooth and creamy texture that results from cooking the apples down to a thick, spreadable consistency.

Here’s a basic recipe for making homemade apple butter:

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 pounds of apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
