Easy Homemade Apple Butter Recipe 🍎 So Creamy and Smooth!
Today we made homemade apple butter! If you were here last week, you saw us make an amazing Apple Butter Pie, but to be honest, I couldn't find a store-bought version that didn't taste like a jar of cloves. So, we decided to make our own version right here in the Snow Dogs Cooking kitchen!
This recipe is incredibly easy using the Instant Pot (though we explain how to use a slow cooker or stove top, too). We are using a mix of tart and sweet apples, a little bit of cider, and just the right amount of cinnamon. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving pies, spreading on toast, or just eating off a spoon. Of course, it wouldn't be a cooking video without the pack underfoot waiting for the "Apple Noodles!"
Ingredients
4 lbs Apples (A mix of tart and soft varieties works best)
1/2 Cup Apple Cider (We used Honey Crisp Cider)
3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 1/2 Cups Light Brown Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Tips and Tricks
🍏 You can use any variety of apples you like! We used a mix of tart and soft apples, plus some "backyard tree" apples for a complex flavor profile.
🍯 We used Apple Cider instead of water to prevent burning in the Instant Pot and to boost that apple flavor.
🥧 This recipe makes about 2 cups (perfect for one pie). If you want a stockpile for toast, definitely double the recipe!
🌶️ Spice it up! We prefer just cinnamon, but you can add allspice, cloves, or apple pie spice if you like that "spiced" flavor.
🌡️ The Spoon Test: To check if it's thick enough, put a dollop on a spoon and let it cool. If it doesn't drip off, it's done!
🐌 No Instant Pot? No problem. You can simmer this on the stove on low for a long time, or use a Slow Cooker for about 12 hours to get the same result.
🍞 Allow the butter to cool completely before refrigerating. It thickens up perfectly overnight!
The Kitchen Helpers The "Cheese Tax" was replaced by the "Apple Noodle Tax" today! Memphis was on high alert, catching (and missing) the long apple peel "noodles." Princess Kira showed off her fancy "crossy paws" while politely waiting for her apple snacks. Eleanor Shark made sure no apple crumb hit the floor without being inspected. The whole pack agreed that the kitchen smells amazing when you vent the steam!
