Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce, produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider or water to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown. The concentration of sugar gives apple butter a much longer shelf life as a preserve than applesauce. Apple butter was a popular way of using apples in colonial America, and well into the 19th century. The term “butter” refers to the thick, soft consistency, and apple butter’s use as a spread for breads. Typically seasoned with cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice and other spices, apple butter may be spread on buttered toast, used as a side dish, an ingredient in baked goods, or as a condiment.
WARNING: Not a healthy choice if that is what you are going for!
Amazing dip great for potlucks, sporting events, any time at all! Serve with corn chips and be prepared for when all of your guests ask for the recipe!
I used to make a similar recipe that I found in a Campbell's Soup Cookbook for my Mom and sisters as a teenager. Since I love having a crock pot I thought I would throw everything in and see how it turned out! It's stewing away and is making the house smell delicious right now!
