Sugar Free Apple Butter Recipes

SUGAR FREE APPLE BUTTER RECIPE FOR THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Start coring and slicing apples, dumping the slices into the Instant Pot as you go. Stop prepping apples when the crockpot is full. (If your pot is not completely filled with apples, you should add the water/cider to make sure you can get it up to pressure for the short cook time.)
• Add your spices, then close the lid, making sure the vent is set to sealing.
• Cook on the manual setting, for 20 minutes, on high pressure.
• Quick release the pressure, and remove the lid.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the apples, which will also mix in your spices.
• Turn on the saute setting and stir regularly as the apple butter boils. Be careful of splashes! I boiled mine about 15 minutes to reduce it down.
• When you're happy with the thickness, you can pour the apple butter into jars and refrigerate, or can your apple butter using a *waterbath method.

SUGAR-FREE APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine the apples, water, and spices. Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer with the lid ajar until the apples are saucy and broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the apples to a food processor or Vitamix and puree until smooth. Transfer back to the pot and continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning, until the mixture thickens a bit, takes on a slightly darker color, and has a more concentrated apple flavor, about 15 minutes more.
• Cool the apple butter to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

NO-SUGAR BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove cores and seeds of apples, leaving the bottoms intact. Place into an 8x8-inch casserole or baking dish. Place 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon into each cored apple.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are softened, 20 to 25 minutes, watching to make sure they don't pop.

REDUCED SUGAR SPICED APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir chopped apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until the apples are soft enough to mash easily with a fork, 8 to 10 hours.
• Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
• Cook uncovered until some of the liquid reduces and the color is dark brown, about 1 hour.

SUGAR FREE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Slice apples into a crock pot. Cook on low until they're very soft, 4-5 hours.
• Remove from crock pot & press soft apples through a sieve to remove the peels. Stir in the Splenda, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Return mixture to crock pot and cook another 3-4 hours on low setting. (mixture should reduce to about 4 cups).
• Spoon into clean jars (those cute little half-pint jelly jars would be perfect),leaving an inch of headroom. Cover with lids & freeze the jars that you want to use later. Store thawed apple butter in the refrigerator.
• Note: for oven prep, cook apples for 2 hours on 350°F After sieving & adding spices and Splenda, return to oven for another hour.
• Serving size listed is 1 tablespoon.

SUGAR FREE APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Rinse apples, core, and slice. Don't peel. Put in crock pot along with honey, water, and cinnamon and turn on low 12 hours or over night. At this point you will have apple sauce. Puree in the crockpot with a stick blender, or transfer to a food processor or blender and puree. Return to the crock pot and cook on the lowest setting (I use 'keep warm') with the lid cracked to allow steam to escape for another 4-6 hours, stirring once every couple hours. This will darken and thicken the apple butter. Spoon into jars and keep in the refrigerator, freezer, or can using a water bath method to keep in the pantry.

BAKED APPLE BUTTER-SUGAR FREE

Steps:

• Place peeled and diced apples in a large saucepan with the unsweetened apple juice.
• Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, until apples are tender.
• Mash the apples to the consistency you prefer.
• Add the spices and Splenda (or sugar if you like) and mix well.
• Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan and place in a preheated oven at 275°F.
• Bake for approximately 3 hours, stirring every hour and remove when the apple butter is the consistency you like.
• Pour into clean jars with tight fitting lids, with lids just lightly placed on top.
• Let cool, tighten lids and refrigerate.
• I can't keep it long enough to worry about it spoiling!
