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 I originally made these as a simple "caramelized apples" recipe but realized it was essentially a great Apple Butter.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.
