Triple Ginger Apple Butter
Ingredients
- 10 medium apples cored (your favorite apple is fine, but if you use Granny Smith it will be pretty tart)
- 2 cups no-sugar added apple juice or apple cider
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ⅓ cup crystallized ginger chopped
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 15 hours, stirring once or twice.
- Turn the slow cooker off and take off the lid. Remove the cinnamon stick.
- Stir the apples until they are pretty much disintegrated, then let them sit for an hour so they cool off slightly.
- In batches, ladle the apples into a blender and pulse until pureed. Repeat until finished.
- Keep the apple butter in an airtight container in the fridge. This also keeps well in the freezer!
