Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz (125g) Homemade Apple Butter see the recipe below (or in our website)
  • 4.5 oz (130g) natural peanut butter (no added oils)
  • 3.5 fl oz. (100ml) melted refined coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (adjust to taste)

Homemade Apple Butter

  • 3 lbs (1.4 kg) apples, cored & chopped
  • 2 fl oz (60ml) water
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together apple butter, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and nutmeg until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1-2 hours or until firm.
  • Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan, place it on a cutting board, and cut into 1-inch squares.

For the Homemade Apple Butter (about 1.6 lbs. (750g))

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the apples into applesauce, or mash with a fork for a chunkier texture.
  • Continue cooking on low heat, uncovered, for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every few minutes until thickened.
  • Once thick, transfer to a glass jar. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
