This is what I give out as Christmas presents! My family loves it!

Apple Butter is basically a super concentrated and spiced applesauce. It's smooth and creamy. You can eat it over bagels, English muffins, toast, pancakes, waffles, in oatmeal, in yogurt...whatever you can think up. It is so simple to make at home and tastes so much better than store bought. This recipe is for a small batch...a little over half of a pint size mason jar, which for us is the perfect amount to have on hand at a time without it going bad, but you can double or even triple the recipe if you'd like. I like to use gala apples for this, but you can use whatever variety you like.

A lot of people have never heard of apple butter before, so let me tell you it's super easy to make, a great way to use apples, and can be used in a million ways; on toast/English muffins, on pancakes/waffles, topping for ice cream, even a lower-sugar alternative for PB&Js.. or dip crackers in it for a snack!Sky's the limit!This can be made small or big batches, you can adjust the sugar to your taste.. so feel free to modify the recipe to your liking. I'm going to share the amounts of ingredients that I used for a small batch as pictured. I don't recommend freezing it but it'll last in the fridge up to a week.I recommend using a crock pot because this needs to cook for at least 8 hours, but it CAN be done on stovetop, just be careful to monitor it.Enjoy!

My husband kept talking about Apple butter, and how long it's been since he had some. Well, we did have some apples that needed to be used up because they were softening up, so I decided to attempt my first time in apple butter. Now, it's a family favorite. I didn't have allspice, so I used my allspice in a pinch recipe.

In the real world I'm an outfitter at a Cabela's store and one of the things I get to do is share new ways to use many of our products.I was asked to do a seminar on electric smokers for out annual Ladies Day Out event, and I thought this would be a great recipe for the season - everybody has apples around here, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I adapted my Nana's apple butter recipe and ... here you go.

I’m honestly late to the Apple Butter game. I didn’t know it existed until I ate it at a restaurant. I bought a jar to take home because I liked it so much. I decided to make my own rendition on this apple phenomenon using some unorthodox methods. This is an all day affair, so I recommend doing this on a day when you’re going to be staying home. The good news is, you don’t have to hover over the stove, it almost makes itself.

You can easily bake it in an oven toaster!The cake will look nice if you make the apples visible when pouring the dough in.Toyohira Health Center, City of Sapporo Volunteer Translators: Students in the Translation & Interpretation Seminar, Sapporo University

I went on a rafting trip recently and on the way we stopped at this gas station on the way that had a cafe attached. I had this baked oatmeal that was outstanding. We had a busy day and didn’t get to eat until 3pm. The oatmeal fueled me for the whole day. I decided to start incorporating baked oatmeal into my weekly food routine. This recipe uses quick oats and baking mix from Kodiak cakes. I subbed in apple butter for flavor and moisture in lieu of eggs. For the milk and sweetness I used a pint of vanilla halo top. This batch gave me 12 servings

I went to a Pumpkin Patch not long ago and a friend of mine made her homemade apple butter. So I decided to make these lil sausages and boy are they good. Great for any occasion as an Appetizer or even as a main dish. Everyone will sure to enjoy 😊.

I altered a Pinterest recipe a bit and doubled it.
