We’ve been slathering this all over the pumpkin apple bread I shared earlier this week and also my new favorite, Ezekiel toast. You could even use these in my salted caramel apple butter bars. Oh baby, it is so smooth and has so much flavor! It’s like eating a cinnamon covered apple with a little booze.

  1. My grandmother was known for her apple butter and she would add a can of crushed pineapple to her apple butter. In those days it can sweetened. Now I think I’d use packed in juice.

  2. Congrats on seeing all of your hard work and dedication come to a delicious fruition! You deserve it!

  3. SO excited for you! I can’t wait to watch :) Annnnd I need some of this apple butter right now!
