Ingredients
2 cups (200 g) raw, unsalted walnuts
1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened dried apples, chopped
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) sunflower (or other flavorless) oil
1 1/2 teaspoons (3.9 g) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
Directions
- Add the walnuts and chopped dried apples to your high-performance blender.
- Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of oil over the ingredients.
- Start the blender on low speed and gradually increase to the highest speed. Use the tamper to push the ingredients from the corners into the blades.
- If the mixture is too thick, add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil.
- Blend for 2-4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and add the cinnamon and salt.
- Blend on high speed for an additional 1-3 minutes until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Transfer the apple cinnamon walnut butter to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- This recipe requires a narrow-bodied container (32-oz or 48-oz). If using a low-profile 64-oz container, double the recipe.
- Salt can be reduced to 1/4 teaspoon with similar results.
- Almonds can be substituted for walnuts, but the walnut flavor is recommended.
- If using a food processor instead of a high-performance blender, you may need up to 1/2 cup of oil to achieve a smooth consistency.
