Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices sliced bread (nut-free)
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
Place the chopped apples into a large pot and add the water and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and starting to break down, about 20 minutes.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and salt to the pot.
Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 1 to 2 hours, stirring frequently, until thickened to your desired consistency.
Once the apple butter is ready, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
While the apple butter cools, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of butter or margarine (if using) over the warm toast.
Generously spread the nut-free apple butter over each slice of toast.
Serve immediately, possibly garnished with a small sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.
