This Hot Buttered Apple Sauce is a comforting, warm dessert made from slow-simmered Fuji apples with buttery richness and aromatic spices. The apples are cooked low and slow until they soften into a thick, caramel-like sauce, perfect for serving hot with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh Fuji apples
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pastured butter
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel and cut the Fuji apples into chunks, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  2. Combine apples and water: Place the apple chunks into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and add 2 cups of water to prevent sticking during cooking.
  3. Simmer apples: Bring the mixture to a slow simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with the lid to retain moisture.
  4. Cook low and slow: Let the apples cook gently for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and encourage even cooking.
  5. Reduce and thicken: As the water evaporates, the apples will darken into a caramel-like color. Stir more frequently and continue cooking until the sauce is thick, tender, and any large chunks are broken up with the back of the spoon.
  6. Serve: Serve the hot apple sauce in small bowls, topping each serving with 1 to 2 tablespoons of pastured butter and a pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg for added warmth and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Fuji apples for a naturally sweet and crisp flavor, but other sweet apple varieties can be substituted.
  • Adjust the amount of butter according to your preference for richness.
  • Stir frequently toward the end of cooking to prevent burning as the sauce thickens.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with pancakes, pork dishes, or as a warm dessert on its own.
  • To make the sauce smoother, you can mash or blend it slightly after cooking.
