INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the apple butter, place the apples, juice and spices in large heavy-bottomed stock pan.

r

2. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer for 1-2 hours, until the apples have broken down.

r

3. Using an immersion blender, blend the apples together until they are smooth (or do this in batches in your blender or food processor).

r

4. Return the mixture to the pan. Let it simmer for another hour or until it has thickened and reduced by half, being sure to stir the mixture frequently.

r

5. At this time, stir in the warm caramel until the mixture is well-combined.
