What is Apple Butter?
I was surprised when I discovered that not everyone knows what apple butter is! If you haven’t heard about it before you are probably wondering what it is and how to eat it.
Apple butter is apple puree cooked until the natural sugars in the apple caramelize (that’s why it has that golden hue). You also add some traditional Fall spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg while you are making it.
It has a very concentrated apple flavor and aroma with spicy undertones (thanks to the cinnamon).
