Homemade Apple Spread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the chopped apples in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients, stir to blend well.
• 2. cover and cook on high for one hour
• 3. reduce heat to low and cook 10-11 hours, stir occasionally. Until mixture is thickened and dark brown.
• 4. Uncover and continue cooking on low for 1 hour. Stir with whisk if desired to increase the smoothness
• 5. Spoon mixture into clean freezer containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze
• 6. **** You can add more sugar (up to 4 cups) but I like mine just a little tart but still sweet. I don't think I would ever use more than 2 cups even if the Apples are tart.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, boil apples in about 6 cups of water. Boil on medium high without the lid for 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent apples from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• When the water level starts to boil down and the apples have just enough water to even out, add the sugar and cinnamon. Stir and boil for another 20 minutes.
• The apples should darken and caramelize in texture. Using a potato masher, mash in the apples to preferred consistency.
• Turn off the burner and allow the apples to cool for a while. Once they have cooled, you can store them in air tight containers and use it as a topping for ice cream, cakes, on toast, or even with fresh yogurt. They will stay fresh for about a week in the refrigerator or can be stored longer in the freezer.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients.
• Refrigerate about 30 minutes to blend flavours.
• Spread on toast, graham crackers, etc.
