Ingredients
  • 2 pounds apples, (I like Fuji for this)
  • 5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • couple pinches of salt
Instructions

  1. Peel and core the apples. Then cut them into sixths and add them to a medium-sized soup pot. Add the vinegar, sugar, water and vanilla and mix.

  2. Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Immediately cover and reduce the heat to low. Let this simmer until the apples are very tender, about 30 minutes.

  3. Pour the contents of the pot into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Now pour it back into the pot and add the cardamon, cinnamon and salt. Place it over low heat, this time uncovered, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, until it's super aromatic and thick.

  4. Let it cool to room temperature and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (It should keep for a couple of weeks.)

    I’m curious how this Apple butter tastes! The spices are intriguing! I once ate it with clove at the dunk! Festival. It was fantastic too!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Valentina, I saw your link on FBC. This Apple sauce sounds delicious as I loooove both spice cinnamon and cardamon. I usually use cardamon for my fruit salad too. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
