Ingredients You Need for Apple Cinnamon Walnut Butter [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

How to Prepare Apple Cinnamon Walnut Butter [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a food processor fitted with the “s” blade, pulse the walnuts and apples 5-6 times to chop. Process for a few minutes until a sort of flour forms, and then a lump of what looks like dough.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of oil into the machine, which will loosen up the butter. Allow it to continue to puree until almost smooth. You may not need the full half cup. Scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is well-incorporated.
Add the cinnamon and salt, and then process for another 30 seconds or so to combine. Taste, and adjust salt and cinnamon to your preference.
