This apple butter not only taste amazing, it will make your house smell heavenly of baked apples and cinnamon. It is actually very easy to make, too. All you need is a few simple ingredients, a crockpot and some sort of blender.
I have been enjoying this apple butter as a little dessert on a rice cake or two with peanut butter, stirred into my postwork oats and I just made an Apple Butter and Zucchini Oatmeal bake with. Don’t worry, I will be sharing that recipe soon! Oh, and just by the spoonful!
This recipe screams fall and is perfect to get your house smelling cozy, to enjoy with a hot beverage and to embrace all things fall. It stores great in a mason jar and will last about a month in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it and it will last for up to a year.
