Apple Butter in the Oven

For this oven-made recipe, I went apple picking and knew I wanted to make apple butter, but I also knew I didn’t want to stir it for hours on the stove. I was glad to find recipes for baking it at a low temperature instead. I adapted one I found to make this spiced, not-too-sweet treat! I like it on toast or over oatmeal. Keep refrigerated for a few days, or freeze for later use.

Prep Time:

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 3 whole allspice berries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1
Combine apples, apple cider, brown sugar, and salt in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and allspice. Bring to a simmer. Cover partially and cook until apples are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

Step 3
Remove whole spices from the pot with a slotted spoon. Reserve cinnamon and star anise; discard cloves and allspice. Pur?e apples with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and return cinnamon and star anise to the pot.

Step 4
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven, stirring every 30 minutes, until apple butter thickens and deepens in color, about 3 hours. Let cool completely. Discard cinnamon and star anise before transferring to airtight containers.
