Literally this is fall in a bowl. The best way to enjoy the fall season is enjoying this apple butter on toast, waffles, pancakes, or even as a dip with cinnamon pita chips!
Cube apples, leaving skins on. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water to a large dutch oven and stir until mixed together.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Allow mixture to simmer for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
Remove from heat and using a hand mixer puree the mixture until smooth (I like leaving a few small chunks and the skin in to add a little texture to the dish).
Serve warm over waffles, toast, or in a bowl with a spoon!
Notes
Freeze It: Once cooled completely, you can fill medium sized freezer bags and lay flat in the freezer. Defrost in the fridge.
