Hot Buttered Apple Sauce With Cinnamon and Nutmeg

Print Recipe

This hot buttered apple sauce is served with a dusting of fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg, making it taste like hot apple pie in a bowl. It is a simple, comforting, and warming treat made by cooking apples low and slow, then topping with butter and spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 fresh Fuji apples
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pastured butter
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the apples into chunks.
  2. Put them in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and add the water.
  3. Bring them to a slow simmer over medium heat. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pot.
  4. Cook the apples covered, low and slow, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the majority of the water has evaporated the apples should be darkening into a caramel-like color. Stir more often now and keep cooking until the sauce is thick and completely tender. Break up any large chunks with the back of your spoon.
  6. Serve the sauce hot in small bowls topped with a large dollop of butter and ground spices.

Notes

This recipe is a timeless, simple, and satisfying treat that tastes like hot apple pie in a bowl. You can experiment with other warming spices like clove, cardamom, allspice, or five-spice for variation.
