I present to you my Pretty Pretty Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie :) I have never used sprinkles before and I got so exited when I started placing the stars on the whipped cream, that i could not stop myself from completely covering the cake with sprinkles..ha ha
This is an easy pie but a little time consuming and the outcome is definitely worth all the effort. Hope you like it :)
Ingredients and Steps to Prepare Apple Butter


Ingredients required :
-
Apples - 3 medium any type

Brown Sugar - 1/2 cup

-
Place all the ingredients in a pressure cooker, mix, put the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes(4 vissels).

Once the steam evaporates from the cooker, open the lid. The apples were already in the form of paste, so i did not need to mash it. Very little liquid was left in the cooker, so I cooked it for another 5 minutes to thicken it.

Let it cool, store it in a airtight container and refrigerate it till required.
