Description
A warm and comforting Hot Buttered Apple Sauce With Cinnamon and Nutmeg made from fresh Fuji apples cooked low and slow until caramel soft. Finished with butter and spices for a silky, aromatic bowl everyone enjoys.
Ingredients
12 fresh Fuji apples, peeled and cut into chunks
2 cups water
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions
1. Peel the apples and cut them into even chunks so they cook down smoothly and evenly.
2. Place the apples in a large pot and pour in the water to help them steam and soften.
3. Warm the pot over medium heat until the apples begin to gently simmer.
4. Lower the heat and cover the pot so the apples cook slowly and release their natural sweetness.
5. Stir the apples occasionally as they begin to soften and darken into a caramel like texture.
6. Continue cooking until most of the water has evaporated and the apples become thick and tender.
7. Press the back of a spoon into any large pieces to help create a smooth and rich sauce.
8. Stir in the butter until it melts fully and blends into the warm apples.
9. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to deepen the aroma and mix until evenly combined.
10. Spoon the hot apple sauce into bowls and enjoy while warm with a soft buttery finish.
Notes
This recipe uses only apples, butter, water, and simple spices with no questionable ingredients.
The sauce works well as a snack or as a topping for oatmeal or baked goods.
Cook longer for a thicker texture or add a splash of water for a looser sauce.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy cold or gently reheated.
