How to Make Pumpkin Apple Butter

  1. Peel, core, and chop 2 pounds of apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji).
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the butter has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently during this time.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a clean jar or container.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Enjoy!
