The perfect apple butter for winter pancakes and baking.
Ingredients
  • 5 pounds local apples-mixed varieties

  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mace
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Roughly peel and chop apples. They don't need to be perfect.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a heavy dutch oven and stir over low heat until it begins to simmer.
  4. Put on the lid and place in oven for 4 hours.
  5. Turn the oven off but leave the pot untouched overnight.

  7. Store in the refrigerator for short term use, or freeze for winter baking.
