Maple Apple Butter

The sweater weather has just begun, it also means apple picking season is here. Lets do something with those apples other than making it into jam or pies. Today I made Maple Apple Butter and what I needed was maple, apple, and butter, like literally. 

It took me a little more than an hour to make this smooth, flavorful, oh-so-good apple butter. Seriously, even I was amazed by how easy it was. This recipe is practically fool-proof.

Ingredients: 
9 Apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunky wedges
3/4 cup Maple syrup (I used medium grade Maple Syrup for more flavor)
1 cup half-salted butter


Cooking step:

1. Sterilize (boil) some mason jars,
2. Put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook at medium heat for 45 minutes or until the apple chunks break easily (cook longer if you want it thicker), 
3. Purée with food processor or blender (careful its hot!) until its completely smooth,
4. Ladle the puréed apple mix into the sterilized jars and screw the lid tightly. 

Happy canning!
