Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and unsweetened applesauce in a slow cooker.
  2. Stir in the coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours, stirring every 2 hours, scraping the bottom and sides to ensure sugars caramelize without burning.
  4. Once apples have completely broken down, turn off the heat and use an immersion blender directly in the pot until the spread is uniform and glossy.
