How to Prepare Fermented Probiotic Apple Butter [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Peel and core apples, then cut into slices.
- Place slices apples in a large pot and bring to a medium high heat until the apples start to cook. If the apples are a bit dry, add a splash of water to help them break down during cooking.
- Cook the apples covered with a lid, stirring occasionally, for about half an hour until they soften and are cooked through.
- Puree the cooked apples with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Add cinnamon and a gingerbread spice mix or other spices to your taste and stir them in to combine with the sauce.
- Return the apple sauce to the stove and cook on low for another hour or so, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your liking.
- Once the sauce is reduced and you get a thick butter like sauce, remove from stove and set aside to cool completely.
- Transfer the apple butter to a large clean jar and add the powder from 3 vegan probiotic capsules. Stir the probiotic powder into the sauce with a clean wooden spatula, then cover the jar with a clean kitchen towel and secure it with an elastic band.
- Let the apple butter rest on your kitchen counter away from direct sunlight for 2-3 days, depending on the room temperature (the warmer the room, the sooner it will ferment). Your fermented apple butter is ready when it has a slightly tangy taste and air pockets start to form.
- Once your probiotic vegan apple butter is fermented, close the jar with a lid and transfer it to the fridge where it will keep for a couple of days.
Notes
You can use any probiotic capsules that contain a lot of probiotic bacteria (in this case 1 capsule contains 1010 cultures and is vegan), but make sure they contain NO PREBIOTICS.
