Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 5 medium apples (peeled, cored, chopped)
• ½ cup water
• 3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Equipment

• 1 Saucepan or slow cooker
• 1 Wooden spoon
• 1 Blender or Immersion Blender
• 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
• 1 Glass jar with lid

Method

 

1. Prepare Apples: Wash, peel, core and cut the apples into smaller pieces so they are cooked throughly.
2. Get Cooking: Add apples, water and sweetener to a small saucepan or slow cooker and cook over low heat until softened (about 40–45 minutes).
3. Add Spices: Throw in cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt – the apples are softened so stir up those flavours!
4. Blend Mixture: Either use an immersion blender right in the pot, or transfer to a blender and puree until smooth and velvety.
5. Simmer again: Return the puree to the pot and bring it back down to a good simmer so that it cooks together as much as possible into a buttery spread, about 30–40 minutes or even more.
6. Cool It Down: Let it rest for 15 minutes before you pack away.
7. Cool and Store: Pour into clean glass jars, screw on lids and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

• You get a deeper, caramelised flavour by using a slow cooker.
• Add sweetness to taste — with erythritol, monk fruit or stevia.
• Slide a small pat of butter (or less traditional coconut oil) into your blender — for that extra-creamy texture.
• Specter, Mix should be completely cool before sealing jars.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer.
