Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples (preferably sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the apples for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and tender.
Remove the lid and mash the apples with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. For a smoother spread, use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the spread cool to room temperature.
Transfer the spiced apple spread to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve the spread on toast, dolloped on oatmeal, or as a topping for yogurt or pancakes. Enjoy!
