This tangy and sweet apple butter has a very rich flavor and is excellent as a side item for a variety of dishes. I originally made these as a simple "caramelized apples" recipe but realized it was essentially a great Apple Butter. Tomato Tomahto I suppose. Hope you give it a try!
Prep the Apples
Peel, core and cut into 1-inch chunks, then set aside...
- 3 lbs Granny Smith apples
Cook
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir together until melted and dissolved...
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Add the apples, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until they're very soft, cooked down and a deep golden brown.
Thin the Sauce
It will be very thick at this point, so stir in...
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
Add more water a little at a time until it's the consistency you like.
Serve over buttered toast or as a topping for pancakes.
