Super Easy Apple Butter

Posted by Jason on

This is one of the super-simple recipes you can cook on a Sunday morning. Not only will your house smell like heaven, you’ll have jars of apple butter to give away. This recipe can always be scaled in half if you desire less apple butter goodness. I love the apple butter for post run and workout carbs. The moisture and flavor make a great companion for quickly prepared chicken or pork that might lack some flavor or moisture. The apple butter helps everything go down the snack nice and easy.

    Yummy and healthy. This is what real estate folks should do the morning before showing a home! Fills the place with great smells. Then leave out some crackers and let people munch away as they tour the residence.

      Great idea as the recipe makes the house smell great, better than a Yankee Candle! To keep the snacks Paleo, sub out the crackers with some apple and pear slices

    The taste was fine.
    If i do it again I will use less cider.
    I would prefer the finished product to be a little thicker

      Coalminer, I think if you want it thicker you can also cook it a little longer and the flavors will just be more intense 🙂
