Canadian apple butter
Ingredients
850g /30 oz. apples (about 3-4)
2 tbsp brown sugar (you can also use maple syrup or sugar, or honey)
¼ tsp vanilla powder
1 pinch cinnamon
30g / 1 oz. / 2 tbsp butter (for a vegan version, I believe you could use margarine or coconut oil? Let me know)
Preparation
1
Peel, core and dice the apples. Keep the chopped pieces in cold lemony water so they don’t go brown.
2
Empty the water and tip the apples into a large saucepan with the sugar.
3
Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apples are tender. Add 2-3 tablespoons water if you need to.
4
Towards the end, add the vanilla and cinnamon.
5
Tip into a blender and purée. Note: I tried using an immersion blender but it didn’t work as well.
6
Add the butter and mix again until smooth.
7
Pour into jars and store in the fridge (or freezer).
8
Serve on toast for breakfast.
