Making homemade apple butter is super simple. Wash, core, and quarter about a pound of apples. Pop them into a crock pot then add half a cup of water or apple juice, a dash of apple cider vinegar, half a cup of brown sugar, one teaspoon cinnamon, a few cloves and a quarter teaspoon of each nutmeg and ginger. Cook in a pressure cooker for 8 minutes. Release the pressure. Remove the cloves and scrape the apples into a blender. Blend until smooth, then transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened.
