For the first time in my life, I made this apple butter. It was AMAZING!!! I left out the cloves since I am not a fan of cloves. I removed the core and I left the skins on. When it was finished I used my immersion blender and it totally dissolved the apple peels. It was so easy. I will be making a lot more soon.
I love this recipe, I am definitely going to have to try that this fall. This video was so fun to watch. I loved it it's not your ordinary cooking video. The sidekick when you fast forwarded and him eating the strings that was so darn cute. I could sit here and watch your videos all day.
I don't have cinnamon applesauce yet, but I do have regular: ua-cam.com/video/zBwcKh7N05g/v-deo.html. And I do have a cinnamon applesauce post on my site: adventuresofmel.com/instant-pot-cinnamon-applesauce/. Hope this helps!
We did the water bath on our stovetop inside our kitchen. Sometimes we do use a propane burner outside to avoid unnecessarily heating up our house in the middle of summer. Bring it to a boil, and then maintain a boil for the entire canning session.
Thank you so much! It gets pretty hot here in Arkansas too. Botulism is a scary thing, but I'd recommend getting a canning manual like the Ball Blue Book or similar; you might even take some classes if you have a local extension office you can contact; sometimes they'll offer classes on canning and food preservation so you can get hands on experience.
You can easily make it on the stovetop. Just the cook time would likely change (likely 2-3 hours), and you'll have to stir it occasionally, so it doesn't scorch. Also, one more note... You wouldn't need to add water for the stovetop. My mom makes apple butter all the time on her stove, and it is delicious.
Hey Jess, the water bath was used to can and preserve the apple butter. I highly recommend checking out a Ball canning guide for more info on canning apple butter, but it's generally recommended to keep it in the boiling water bath for 10-20 minutes for quarts or 5-15 minutes for pints, all depending on your altitude.
I'm not sure how good that would taste, as I have never made it without sugar! Most recipes I've found online are using sugar substitutes, like Splenda, at the very least.
This is far to easy. Thank you because this sure beats the old style of cooking for 12 hours and stirring every few minutes. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Our kids got us an instant pot last year but this is the first time we really found a great use for it

That's great, Daisy! We love this recipe.

Thank you, Yvon. He's a good helper! Let us know how this recipe turns out if you make it!
This is the first apple butter recipe I've seen that uses molasses. Interesting!
Thank you for being so detailed and SHOWING EVERY PART OF THE PROCESS
I love your little man. Hes so sweet. Thanks for teaching me. I'm age 71 n still learning. I'm sorta kinda pepper.
Thank you! He is a sweet helper. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Love the videos so far ...can't wait to watch more
I just made this, it was my first time making apple butter, and it turned out AMAZING!! Thanks for the recipe! Love the molasses ❤
I also left the peels on and used the immersion blender.
That's great, Heather! I'm really glad you enjoyed the recipe.
I just made 2 batches in my instant pot. Definitely the way to go.
Awesome, Denise! Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed.
Mel your skin is so flawless. Love watching your videos. Thank you for this upload I'm going to have to try this out. 🍎🍎🍎
Thank you so much, Miss V! I hope you enjoy it.
90 min in the IP sounds like you might have made a Mississippi pot roast 😋
Thanks for the recipe and instructions. Cant wait to try this
Haha! Probably was a roast! Sounds so good right now. Thank you!
I love the little boy in this video. He stole the show.
He's a sweetie, that's for sure!!
It saves food from being wasted also it’s a win win situation
I wholeheartedly agree.
Thank you for the video . Your demo helped us realise how to operate our newly acquired Apple peeler. Looking forward to making your apple butter.
Much appreciated, Val! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy the apple butter!

Would you please post a video for instant pot cinnamon applesauce ? Thank you
I don't have cinnamon applesauce yet, but I do have regular: ua-cam.com/video/zBwcKh7N05g/v-deo.html. And I do have a cinnamon applesauce post on my site: adventuresofmel.com/instant-pot-cinnamon-applesauce/. Hope this helps!
Did you do water bath outside? How did you heat it up and keep it up to boiling?
We did the water bath on our stovetop inside our kitchen. Sometimes we do use a propane burner outside to avoid unnecessarily heating up our house in the middle of summer. Bring it to a boil, and then maintain a boil for the entire canning session.
Great video! I want to start canning but read about botulism.... How safe is canning if I live in San Diego when it can get pretty hot in summer?
Thank you so much! It gets pretty hot here in Arkansas too. Botulism is a scary thing, but I'd recommend getting a canning manual like the Ball Blue Book or similar; you might even take some classes if you have a local extension office you can contact; sometimes they'll offer classes on canning and food preservation so you can get hands on experience.
@@MelLockcuff great! Thanks for the recommendation! 👍
I never peel my apples, only core them and it works just fine.
How any minutes in the water bath? We’re those 1/2 pint jars?
I used 8 ounce jelly jars. I always recommend you consult a canning guide for the exact times on water bath canning.
Question what if an instant pot isn't available in my kitchen. Any other options?
You can easily make it on the stovetop. Just the cook time would likely change (likely 2-3 hours), and you'll have to stir it occasionally, so it doesn't scorch. Also, one more note... You wouldn't need to add water for the stovetop. My mom makes apple butter all the time on her stove, and it is delicious.
@@MelLockcuff thank you. 2-3 hours is too long. I'll have to invest in an instant pot. Enjoy your weekend
Is molasses mandatory ? Is it mostly for flavoring ?
Molasses is mostly for flavoring and sweetness.
How long did you keep them in the water bath
Debbie, it was about 20 minutes.
What is the purpose of the final water bath? And how long is it good for?
Hey Jess, the water bath was used to can and preserve the apple butter.

Can we leave the sugar out?
I'm not sure how good that would taste, as I have never made it without sugar! Most recipes I've found online are using sugar substitutes, like Splenda, at the very least.
@@MelLockcuff Okay thanks.
Does it really need that much sugar?
That's how much I use, and it seems to work best. You are always welcome to try less.
This is far to easy. Thank you because this sure beats the old style of cooking for 12 hours and stirring every few minutes. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Our kids got us an instant pot last year but this is the first time we really found a great use for it
Howdy Vernon...I use mine constantly for beans, brown rice and steel cut oats...just a suggestion...enjpy!
It's so much quicker and easier. I love making apple butter this way. I hope you enjoy your Instant Pot!
