Zubereitung von Maple Apple Butter
- Peel, core, and chop 4 pounds of apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or McIntosh) into approximately 1-inch pieces.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until the apples are very tender and easily break down with a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully transfer the apple mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth.
- Return the puree to the saucepan and simmer uncovered over low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apple butter has thickened to your desired consistency. (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.)
- While the apple butter is still warm, ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe storage. Alternatively, let cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
