How to Make Half Hour Apple Butter

  1. Peel, core, and chop 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  2. In a heavy 1 1/2-quart saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup Splenda (or to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are completely softened and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing. Enjoy!
