- 10Mix all the ingredients well.
- 11Place the pot on the stove to simmer for about 6 to 8 hours.
- 12Keep the lid on for the first half of the simmering time to trap heat and help the apples soften.
- 13Stir the apples often during simmering.

Ingredients
- 3 kg Äpfel
- 200 g Zucker

Tips
- It is important to leave the lid off for the remainder of the cook time to allow the water to evaporate, this is the key to a thick, velvety apple butter instead of a runny one.
- Blend for a lot longer than you think you need to; the longer you blend, the more velvety it gets. I usually immersion blend for about 7-10 minutes.
