Step 1

Thinly slice apples and remove core (no need to peel). Add to a large pot with apple cider, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cardomom and sea salt. Bring to a simmer and cook apples until very soft. (approx. 1 hour)

Step 2

Blend apples in stand mixer or with hand blender. Add back to pot on low heat. Cover with lid and warm apple mixture until thick and spreadable in texture. (40 minutes to one hour). Check every 10-15 minutes and stir. When ready remove from heat and let apple butter cool entirely. Then transfer to jars and keep in the fridge
