Apple pie spice is not just for apple pies! Cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg combine in this classic mix. Fresh apples cook down and become tasty, spicy apple butter for your fresh, warm biscuits.

Apple Pie Spice

• 4 lbs. apples
• 2 cups apple cider

Stem, core and slice your apples. Place in your crock-pot or slow cooker. Pour the apple cider over the apples and toss to combine.

Cook on low heat for 10 hours. Add the sugar and apple pie spice. Use your immersion blender to mix the butter together. Blend until there are no chunks. If you don’t have an immersion blender you may use your blender.

Cover and cook an additional hour on high.

Pour into clean freezer jars. Let cool about 30 minutes before capping and freezing.
