Honeycrisp Apple Butter with Vanilla Bean

Honeycrisp Apple Butter with Vanilla Bean

Slow-cooked to silky perfection, this apple butter gets its rich depth from vanilla bean and a touch of warm spice—ideal for slathering on toast or stirring into oatmeal.

Ingredients:

• 4 lbs Honeycrisp apples, cored and chopped (peels on)

4. Uncover and cook on HIGH for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture mounds on a spoon without dripping.

The vanilla bean adds a floral sweetness that makes this apple butter taste like dessert—yet it’s secretly fruit-forward and not too sweet. Tip: For extra depth, swap 1/2 cup cider with bourbon.

Honeycrisp Apple and Caramel Tart

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

2. Toss apple slices with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Arrange them in overlapping rows over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
3. Drizzle 1/4 cup caramel sauce evenly over apples. Fold pastry edges up slightly to encase the filling, then brush crust with 1 tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tbsp turbinado sugar.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes until crust is puffed and golden, and apples are tender. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.

The magic here? The caramel seeps into the apples as they bake, creating a glossy, jammy layer beneath that crisp puff pastry.

Tip: For clean slices, chill the tart for 15 minutes before cutting—warm caramel is delicious but messy!

The honey’s floral notes and the apples’ natural sweetness keep this sauce from being overly tart, while the cranberries add a festive pop of color.
