Apple Butter Recipe

If you've never tried apple butter before, boy are you missing out!! This delicious and highly concentrated form of apple sauce is made by slow cooking an assortment of apples on low heat until the apples start to caramelize, turning the apple butter to a gorgeous deep brown. You can use apple butter on a variety of different foods from toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles or everything!

The best part about apple butter is you can store it! The high concentration of sugar gives the apple butter a much longer shelf life as a preserve than apple sauce. Also makes for a great gift when served in mason jars!
