Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large red apples
  • 1 3/4 cups apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Begin by coring and chopping the apples into large chunks. Place them in a large pot with apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, simmering for about 30 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla bean paste (or extract), cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  3. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender or transfer to a standing blender until smooth.
  4. Return the blended mixture to the pot and cook uncovered over medium heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
  5. Once thick enough that it won’t easily drizzle from a spoon, serve warm or store in jars for later use.
