Have You Ever Tried Apple Butter?
If you’ve never heard of apple butter, you’re missing out on one of the coziest, most comforting spreads around. What you’re seeing in the picture is a jar of rich, homemade apple butter—smooth, spiced, and packed with the deep flavor of slow-cooked apples.
Despite the name, apple butter doesn’t contain any butter at all. The “butter” refers to its creamy texture. It’s made by simmering apples for hours with warm spices like cinnamon and cloves until it becomes thick, caramelized, and spreadable.
Perfect on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or even stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, apple butter is a fall favorite—but truly delicious all year round.
Here’s a simple, classic homemade apple butter recipe:
Ingredients:
6 pounds of apples (such as Fuji, Gala, or McIntosh), peeled, cored, and sliced
2 cups of apple cider or water
1 to 2 cups granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup brown sugar (optional, for a deeper flavor)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional, added at the end)
Instructions:
