Restaurant-Quality Maple-Apple Butter

This one is even better than the famous apple butter served at a popular French Canadian restaurant chain in Quebec. I make a huge batch using the tart apples from the tree in our yard. The sourness balances out perfectly with the maple syrup. Very freezer-friendly and great as a gift. No one will know how easy it was to make! Serve with toast or baguette.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 20 medium apples - peeled, cored, and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place apple slices in a big pot with maple syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer until apples are very tender, about 45 minutes. Mixture will be thick which is what is required to achieve a rich texture as the final result. Remove from heat.

Step 2

While apples are still hot, add them to a blender with cubes of cold butter, working in small batches so blender is only 1/3 full at a time (for safety reasons so hot mixture won't splatter everywhere). Blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and mix until smooth.
