Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter or coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into small pieces.
Place apples in a large saucepan and add the water. Cook over medium heat until the apples have softened, approximately 20 minutes.
Use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the apples until smooth.
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract to the pureed apples. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook the apple mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and turns a deep brown color. This process will take about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to lightly toast the bread if you prefer it warmed, or you can toast the bread on medium setting in a toaster.
Optional: In a small skillet, melt the butter or coconut oil over medium heat and brush it over one side of each bread slice for a richer flavor.
Spread the cooled apple butter generously over each toast slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free apple butter toast.
