Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ Apple Butter...or VERY close to it... Recipe User name

1. 1

   I dont know if you can buy powdered apple(just get the freeze dried ones if you dont want to take this long), but its pretty easy to make, just time consuming.

2. 2

   I peeled and cored 2 apples cut them into 1/4 inch thick slivers and put them in my dehydrator for 12-15 hours, then tossed them in the food processor until they were a nice powder.

3. 3

   You can coat them in lemon juice if you dont want them to turn brown, but they taste the same either way.

4. 4

   You can sun dry them too, but it takes A longer.

5. 5

   You can also set them on a rack in the oven at 125-150degrees for a couple hours(not sure how long because I dont do it that way but Ive heard 6-8) and keep checking them until theyre dried out to where they brake like dry, stale bread.

6. 6

   A comment was left about using fruit crisps.

7. 7

   Ive actually tried it before and it did indeed work, but it seemed to clump up a little.

8. 8

   Not that big of a deal and still very good, so if you can find them at a store near you, or just order them online, its definitly a quick option to drying your own.

9. 9

   Whip up the butter.

10. 10

    Add honey and whip again.

11. 11

    Add cinnamon and whip yet again

12. 12

    Add the powdered apple a little at a time(1/2 tbsp roughly) whipping in between each addition.

13. 13

    Check the flavor after adding half of the powdered apple since apples differ in size and arent exact measurements and just mix to taste.
