What is apple butter?
I often hear “Is apple butter the same as applesauce?” Not quite.
Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of homemade applesauce that is cooked until the sugar in the apples caramelize, giving it its dark brown color.
It has a thick, smooth texture spiced with cinnamon and clove that makes it excellent to spread on toast in the morning.
What is apple butter used for?
The easiest way to use apple butter is to spread it on toast or bagel for breakfast. You can add some slices of apple or even banana on top to help bulk it up.
For lunch, you can add some cooked chicken or even turn it into a grilled cheese.
I don’t have time to make homemade apple butter. Can I buy it?
Yes, absolutely! As much as I love to cook from scratch, it takes at least several hours to make homemade apple butter. It’s ok to give yourself a break and buy a jar when pressed for time.
I’m tired of toast. What are other uses for apple butter?
Great question! Apple butter is versatile and can be used as an ingredient in recipes, ranging from breakfast and dinner to dessert and snacks.
