4 Large Honey crisp apples, cored and diced
2/3 cup apple juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp Bourbon (optional)
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
Add everything into a pot, except butter and bring up to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer, and cover for 45 minutes. Add mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Add back to pot and cook another 10 minutes so some of the moisture evaporates. Remove of heat and add butter and mix.
*I prefer a maple finished bourbon
*You can substitute 1Tbsp of Pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
