Easy Apple Butter
Makes 8 oz

Ingredients: 
5 medium apples, peeled, cored & chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions: 

1. Stir all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized pot. Cover and cook over the stove top on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and brown. 

2. Remove the mixture from the pot and use an immersion blender to puree the apples until they are smooth and creamy. 

3. Serve the warm apple butter with a crusty baguette and soft cheese. Apple butter is good for up to one week when kept chilled in an airtight container.
