“Mee Maw Fall” Apple Butter

When life hands you a bushel of apples, you must make apple butter. At least, that is what @nataliejhiggins tells me every Fall.

We overbought apples at the farmer’s market and my poor doodle can only eat them so fast. In homage to our annual apple butter experience, Big Guy and I found a recipe that was too simple to believe. Apples, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and time.

The apples and ingredients spent ten hours in the crock pot at varying degrees until it was close to perfection. The last step was to take the mixture and run it through our @cuinart.

I admit I almost skipped that step which would have been a mistake. The puree forced the pectin from the apples out which gave it the perfect apple butter consistency. As @abrandt1026 would say, it is time for Memaw Fall!
