- •0.75 cup dark brown sugar
- •1 pinch kosher salt
- •1 cinnamon stick
- •1 star anise
- •2 whole cloves
- •3 whole allspice berries
- •2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine apples, apple cider, brown sugar, and salt in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and allspice. Bring to a simmer. Cover partially and cook until apples are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Remove whole spices from the pot with a slotted spoon. Reserve cinnamon and star anise; discard cloves and allspice. Purée apples with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and return cinnamon and star anise to the pot.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven, stirring every 30 minutes, until apple butter thickens and deepens in color, about 3 hours. Let cool completely. Discard cinnamon and star anise before transferring to airtight containers.
