WHAT IS APPLE BUTTER

Apple butter is a simple to prepare preserved fruit spread that is typically made by cooking apples on the stovetop until they caramelize. It can be used on its own as a sweetly spiced spread for homemade bread – or as an all-purpose ingredient in baking and cooking.

But instead of waiting for apples to cook down on the stovetop, we’ve got an apple butter recipe you can make in a fraction of the time in your blender. And – don’t worry we’re not making applesauce! This is a shortcut apple recipe that honors the complex, warming flavors and velvety texture of a classic apple butter.

BEST APPLES FOR APPLE BUTTER

Some of our favorite apples are:

  • Honeycrisp
  • Pink Lady
  • Fuji
  • Cortland

But really, any apple works as long as it has a good amount of tart sweetness.
Note: When making something like apple pie, the common logic is that you should use firm apples that will stand up to the heat of the oven. But that same reasoning doesn’t apply to apple butter with honey. Don’t be afraid to use softer textured apples when making apple butter.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE BUTTER WITH HONEY

You’ll make this honey apple butter recipe in two parts. Luckily both parts are fast and easy! See the Directions tab on this page for step-by step specifics. But here’s the TL;DR: after microwaving your apple butter ingredients together, simply add everything to your Tiger blender and blend for 90 seconds. Quick, easy, done.

BEST APPLE BUTTER USES

Sure, apple butter is delicious when spread on a warm, crusty baguette or a slice of toast. But it has other uses – in both savory and sweet dishes – that might surprise you.

  • Pancakes, brownies and cakes. Not only will you get an added layer of sweetness, apple butter is also full of moisture that ensures your cakes and sweets won’t dry out in the oven.
  • Oatmeal. Add a tablespoon or two and transform those heart healthy oats! 
  • As a fruit spread on a cheese board. Brie anyone?
  • Sandwiches and paninis. Your smoked turkey and gouda sandwich thanks you.

Pork Chops. Is there a more iconic pairing than apples and pork? Move over applesauce. This cinnamon and honey apple butter will take that double-cut pork chop to the next level.
