Paleo Apple Butter

Hi you! Paleo Apple Butter CV

So glad you could stop by! 

I can feel the seasons slowly starting to change. Here in North Carolina we have had a rather warm fall and now it is starting to get cool and rainy (again!). I think at one point we didn’t see the sun but twice in a 3 week period. Gotta love the cold rainy days where you don’t feel like getting up out of bed for anything… Those are my least favorite days. When I went to school in Boone, NC during the winter we might see the sun 3 times if we were lucky and when the sun can out so did a lot of other things; like the shorts (even though it was way too cold… some people…) and sandals (still freezing nope!), but I would never! 

Today’s recipe is a fun one! I am always ready to make apple butter about mid October and I love giving it away as a gift for Christmas with my jam and pickles that I have made throughout the year! This year we have decided to make a healthier apple butter (with all the taste still!). It wasn’t much of a challenge though because we have been using unrefined sugar all year instead of bleach processed sugar and I have to tell you we feel so much butter and so much more energetic than we have in the passed and I believe that it is because of the coconut palm sugar that we have felt so much better! 

Anyways, our paleo apple butter still tastes the same as it as before (my mom says better!) but just no refined sugar! 


Paleo Apple Butter: 
20 Medium sized Apples peeled cored and cut up (I used fuji) 
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice (1 lemon if fresh) 
2 tsp Cinnamon 
1/4 tsp Cloves 
1/8 tsp Cardamom 
1 1/2 cups Coconut Palm Sugar 
1/2 cup water 

Makes about 10 1/2 jars

Spray your crock pot with nonstick spray (you will thank yourself later!). Place you cut up apples into the crockpot along with your lemon juice, sugar and spices. I added a little bit of water to get the spices down to the bottom. Let it cook on low for 12-13 hours. Then take your immersion blender and puree the apples. Then let the apple butter cook for another hour on low without the top on. This will help to thicken the butter. the butter should coat the back of a spoon in picture).

12 hours after putting the apples in.

It should coat the back of a spoon like this when the apple butter is done.

Can them into 1/2 pint jars for gifts! Process for 30 minutes and let sit for 24 hours to fully seal.

YES! It is amazing I am telling you! I cannot get enough of it! I seriously can eat the apple butter by the spoonfuls it is that good! You don’t have to on a Paleo diet to know what good apple butter tastes like! Of course, I don’t think I have met an apple butter that doesn’t have that homemade quality that just about all of them have but this time  both healthy and yummy have mixed! You know that doesn’t happen very often! 

okay, let me compose myself! 

I just couldn’t help but share this scrumptious spread with everyone to show that eating healthy or cleaner doesn’t mean eating ice and carrots sticks because this is definitely NOT! I put it on my toast in the morning or biscuits or by the spoonful… you know anyway you want.Paleo Apple Butter

    This looks delish, paleo or not! LOL And I love that you can throw it in the crockpot and forget about it until you’re ready to deal with it. Love that. Multitasking at it’s best!!!
