Apple butter is a spreadable preserve made by slow-cooking apples with warming spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. The apples are cooked for a long time over low heat, caramelizing them, concentrating their flavor and turning them into a spreadable consistency.
While both applesauce and apple butter are made by slow-cooking apples with water, spices, and maybe a little sugar until you have something soft and saucy, apple butter is cooked much longer so that the mix cooks down even further to become a thick, glossy, caramelized spread.
If A is for Apple, then B is for baking.. Bread, muffins, cakes, tarts, hand pies, and of course traditional Appalachian Stack Cake are just the beginning! Apple butter adds a moist texture with hints of fruity goodness and spices. It speaks of fall – but brings a cozy comfort in those bitter days of winter.
*You can also preserve your apple butter via the water-bath canning method, which uses a canning pot. The recommending processing time is 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts. Home-canned apple butter has a shelf life of about two years. Store in a cool, dark place.
