HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE APPLE BUTTER
If you’ve got an abundance of apples, this easy Homemade Apple Butter recipe by Marcy Inspired is just what you need. In her video, Marcy walks you through a simple process for making rich, flavorful apple butter at home. You can choose to peel the apples or leave the skins on—leaving them on results in a thicker texture, while peeling gives a smoother finish. After testing both, Marcy prefers peeled apples, but either method works beautifully. Perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or adding to your fall recipes!

Ingredients
- 6 cups of apples cored & cut into 1-2" pieces
You can use any type of apple you like: granny smith, fuji, & golden delicious are best for apple butter. You can even mix varieties.
- 1 cup apple juice or water
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup sugar Note: I used ¾ cup because I felt it was a little too sweet
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. cloves
- ¼ tsp. all spice
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel (if you choose), remove core, and cut apples into 1-2" pieces. Place in saucepan with 1 cup of apple juice or water.
- Set burner to high heat and let it come to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until apples can easily be smashed with a fork.
- Pureé with an immersion blender, or tranfer apples into blender or food processor and pureé until smooth.
- Add in brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, cloves, all spice, and nutmeg and mix until well combined. (If you used a blender or food processor, transfer pureé back into saucepan.)
- Cover with lid and let simmer another 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Store in air tight containers and keep refrigerated.
