FAST Apple Butter Recipe (made with Apple Peels still on) #AppleButter, #Recipe

The first step is to make applesauce by cooking the apples in 1 cup of water in a large saucepan for about 10-15 minutes until the apples soften. Don’t bother to peel the apples it won’t affect the texture and saves a lot of time. Cook them with the lid on. With a blender, blend the apples until smooth and return to the saucepan with the rest of the ingredients. Simmer gently, for approximately 2 hours, stirring often to prevent the mixture from burning on the bottom of the pan. The apple butter is ready when it darkens, thickens and when a spoon drawn through it leaves a clear trail. Transfer into sterilized mason jars leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Seal with two-piece vacuum seal lids and heat process the jars in a water bath for 5 minutes. Store in a dark, cool place.
