Canned Cinnamon Apples in Light Syrup Recipe

These apples smell so good and are so delicious. I love making apple recipes this time of year. It feels like Christmas when I am cooking these. My daughter and I loved making them. We ate some that afternoon and canned the rest to use throughout the year.

Canning Cinnamon Apples

10.5 cups water
4.5 cups sugar
¼ cup cinnamon
1 bushel of apples

Peel, core and slice the apples. You can add lemon juice if you want to keep the color. Combine the water and sugar in a stock pot. Bring water to a boil for 1 minute. Turn off the water. Add the cinnamon and apples and stir. Leave the apples in the water for about 5 minutes. Then can the apples and syrup according to the Ball Canning Book. These are great as a side dish when you are in a hurry with dinner.

Apple Butter Recipe

068

So, my daughter and I made about 20 jars of apple butter. YUMMY!! She was so excited, because she was able to help with the apples this year. I just LOVE the way that my house smells when I am peeling and cutting apples, and I have cinnamon and nutmeg out. It just smells so warm and cozy, which is just perfect for the cooler weather we have been having. The smell always makes me think of Christmas. We actually played Christmas music while we were making the apple butter. Yummy!! I thought some of you guys might be interested in this “recipe” of my mom’s. It is so tasty. It really isn’t a recipe, because all apples taste different and so apple butter is really something that you taste and adjust. This apple butter was made in the crock pot. I actually only cooked mine about 4 hours because I wanted to finish in one day.

Apple Butter Recipe:

Blend apples in food processor without peels.
Pour apples into crock pot until about 2/3 full.

Add to taste:
Sugar (I used a combination of sugar and sucanet, but you can use straight sugar)
Apple pie spice
Nutmeg
Cinnamon

(I add about two cups of sugar, sprinkle apple pie spice on top until it just covers the apples, 1 tsp nutmeg, and sprinkle cinnamon on top like the apple pie spice.) Taste after adding the sugar to be sure that it is sweet enough to your liking.

Cook on low all night. Turn the crock pot off in the morning to avoid a burned taste. Do not leave longer than 10 hours or so.
