A delicious recipe for sugar free pink apple butter. Delicious to eat as a side dish and super nice to see because of the pink color. Flavored with a pinch of cinnamon.
Red apples are often much sweeter than their green / yellow variant. And therefore they are very suitable to make applesauce with, the kind of applesauce where you don't need to add sugar. They are already sweet enough themselves.
This sauce has only one disadvantage. You can't store it very long. You make it, cool the sauce to room temperature and keep it in the fridge to eat it the same day or in a day or two. Because when you don't add sugar, you can't store it very long.
You can add an extra flavor accent with a little cinnamon over the top. Cinnamon combines super with apple. And maybe you wan't to know how the apple butter became pink. Quite simply, you cook the apples with their skin. That way, the beautiful pink color comes free in the juice. After cooking, sieve the apples and the peels remains behind in the sieve. That way you use as much of the apple you can for the pulp.
