Apples are the classic fruit. Traditional in most people's lives and in most people's cultures.  Apple trees grow easily in most places. We all know the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the snake. We have all heard "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". What is it about them that is so romantic and timeless? There are so many kinds of Malus species (Apples) out there and they all have healing benefits. Apples are both food and medicine. 

Edible medicine. 

Apple trees are a member of the Rosaceae family. The rose family. Apples are cooling, anti-inflammatory, alterative, diuretic.

Apple Rose Butter Recipe

Peel any kind of apples. You can also leave the skins on as well. This is preference. Use as many apples as you like. I used 12 apples. I covered them with brown sugar. You can sprinkle in clove and cinnamon powder or your preferred spices. You can add orange slices, lemons, fruit juice instead of sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean pods or in my case, rose petals!!! Use your imagination and what you have around you. Infuse your apples in a crockpot for 10 to 12 hours. When you are ready, blend them. Now you have an amazingly vibrantly, healthy, immune stimulating fruit spread!
