Instructions
Peel apples, cut into quarters and cut out seed core.
Cut apple into smaller pieces and place into bowl. Cover with lemon juice to stop the browning and to flavor.
Place apple into a small pot and heat up.
Add sugar, apple cider, salt, ground cinnamon to the apple in the pot and combine.
Cover the pot until it boils and keep then over a medium heat setting.
Stir occasionally and watch it get mushy. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook down until consistency gets thicker. The total cooking time from beginning to end can take 1½ to 2 hours.
The apple butter is ready when it has thickened and it appears brown in color. The texture should look like velvet.
Place apple butter into clean jars and lock with a lid.
Store in the fridge or use straight away. See post for more storing ideas.
