Apple butter is a versatile preparation that can be used to accompany desserts, bread, pancakes, waffles, muffins, cakes, spoon desserts, and even meats. It can also replace part of the butter and sugar in recipes to make desserts lighter.
Put the peeled and diced apples, lemon juice, water, and spices into a saucepan.
Cook over very low heat for about 1 hour, stirring often.
The apples should break down completely and take on an amber color.
Remove the spices and blend everything with an immersion blender.
Transfer the apple butter to a sterilized glass jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a month or freeze for longer storage.
