Supreme Apple Butter Recipe

Supreme Apple Butter Recipe

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 4 pounds Macintosh apples – peeled, cored and chopped
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup apple brandy
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  1. In a large saucepan, bring apple juice concentrate, apple cider, and Macintosh apples to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Stirring occasionally, simmer uncovered about 1 hour, until apples are easily mashed.
  2. Mix dark brown sugar, apple brandy, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves into the apple mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Transfer to sealed sterile containers, and cool at least 1 hour before serving.
