Apple spread is my go to recipe in the fall, when I have too many apples from apple picking and I need to use up all 40 before they go bad. This apple butter has no added sugars, as the apples are more than sweet enough to flavor it. You can use this in place of unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana in any recipes for a significantly better result. For the ultimate peanut butter and jelly, make some Homemade Natural Nut Butter and 100% Whole Wheat Bread

BEGINNING
- 3 lb, about 9 medium (1361 g) Apple, gala
- 3/4 tsp (2 g) Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) Ginger, ground
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) Cloves, ground
- 1/4 cup (60 g) Water

END
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Lemon juice

1. Cut each apple into 8ths and place in a crock pot. An entire 3 lb bag, or about 9-10 gala apples, will be good for this recipe. Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and water

2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours

3. Use an immersion blender to blend up the apples until everything is smooth

4. Loosely cover and cook on low for another 6 hours, stirring occasionally. Mix in lemon juice when done (to help preserve it). Store in a mason jar
