Say hello to your new bestie for this Fall. If you’ve never heard of Apple Butter, don’t worry, I was on that same boat just a few weeks ago. Think of a jam, that’s super soft and can spread like BUTTER, hence the name. There is no ACTUAL butter used in this creation, which makes me love it even more because I am all about that clean living. This simple creation can be used in so many ways. I’ve tossed it in a few marinades, BBQ sauces, and obviously the cocktail infusion or two. This could also be a delicious treat for guests to take home for your next gathering. Possibilities are virtually endless with this butter and I’m here to show you how!
