Reduced Sugar Spiced Apple Butter
Kameran
"I was tired of finding apple butter recipes with more sugar than apples, so I adapted a few and perfected it. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic and tastes like fall. Enjoy! If you do not have an immersion blender: allow cooked apples to cool, transfer to a regular blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor. If the texture is too liquidy still, return to slow cooker and allow it to reduce for about another hour more. This recipe is really about adjusting to your taste. If you like a lighter color, cook it less. If you want it highly spiced, throw on the cloves, etc. This recipe freezes well."

I added another 1/4 cup of brown sugar, another teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of allspice. These additions really rounded out and deepened the flavor. Splendid!

This recipe is wonderful . I have dietetic friends so for them they really enjoyed it. Not to hot on cloves so cut that in half, it turned out perfect.

The cloves threw us off, but we were happy without the ton of sugar normally put into apple butter. Thanks!
