Apple Cake + Apple Butter = Awesome.
A rough recipe is (go by taste, this is only a guide) :
- 5 lbs apples Cored and chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (less if apples are more sweet than tart)
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt if it needs it (taste it)
Throw it all in a pot at low temp or a slow cooker until the apples are quite soft, then blend or max the lot - then eat!
I suppose they call it butter since that's the texture you are going for. I think of it more like the cinnamon in a cinnamon roll, only apple infused.
This sounds like an autumnal apple jam! I dont know if I could get that past my lips. It sounds the very epitome of the kind of apples I hate! Although I love cinammon and cloves and all that!
