Apple Butter Recipes

Try this over whole wheat toast with nut butter or to thicken fall soups. You won't believe we didn't add any sugar!

Makes 4 cups - each serving 1 TBSP

Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce, produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider or water to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown. The concentration of sugar gives apple butter a much longer shelf life as a preserve than applesauce. Apple butter was a popular way of using apples in colonial America, and well into the 19th century. The term “butter” refers to the thick, soft consistency, and apple butter’s use as a spread for breads. Typically seasoned with cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice and other spices, apple butter may be spread on buttered toast, used as a side dish, an ingredient in baked goods, or as a condiment.

Lovely thick apple butter for everything from toast to ice cream to pork chops! It's not as smooth or rich as apple butter made with brown sugar, but for being made with Splenda, and so low calorie, it's fantastic!

This is a deliciously spicy taste of Fall, anytime you care to make it. I've used it to fill turnovers and mini-pies, though it would be delicious and guilt free just eaten as a pudding! I reccomend using a food mill to puree the roasted component if you're picky anout texture, otherwise a food processor should make it wonderfully! Makes about 3 cups.

This is so easy, and the result is a wonderfully sweet, smooth apple spread that's low in calories and basically fat free. You can bake or cook with apple butter, top your favorite frozen dessert with it, add it to yogurt...the sky is the limit! :)

This recipe calls for considerably less sugar than most, but believe me: it's plenty sweet, especially if you're using a sweet apple variety. (You might increase the sugar if using tart apples depending on your preference.)

A wonderful Autumn topping! Uses splenda

I love the fall and I love apple and pear butter. I got this recipe from Whole Foods, I just tweaked it a bit, just by adding lemon juice to keep the fruit from browning. The consistency is like apple sauce. It would go great with pork, chicken with mashed potatoes on the side. I'm using this to put in my yogurt, pancakes, ice cream and oatmeal.

These spiced peanut butter cookies are great for fall gatherings. They're crisp on the outside and soft inside.

I love making peanut butter and I wanted to change it up a pinch by using Cinnamon Apple Syrup instead of Maple. It is sweet and so good! Perfect for PB&J with apples, in oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream and more. Give it a try, you will LOVE making Nut Butter

A 3-ingredient quick, easy, filling, and healthy snack or breakfast that any sweet tooth will enjoy!

Apples and peanut butter, baked into a heart healthy oatmeal cake. NO butter, NO white flour!

Apple (Med) & Almond Butter

A delectable combination - I took my standard, egg-free recipe for pumpkin cheesecake (which uses silken tofu as a binder) and swapped in some of my decadent homemade apple butter for the pumpkin!

Adapted from an Elizabeth Baird recipe to get rid of the eggs and bump up the flavour! If you use a presweetened, canned apple butter (check the label - I made my own), taste it first for its sweetness and spice level before adding more sugar, cinnamon and allspice.

An afternoon treat that is sure to fill you up. I got this recipe Cupkat Kat.

takes a little time but makes the whole house smell great.

Again, hardly a recipe, just something I enjoy snacking on regularly. High carb, so I keep this one towards the beginning of the day!

These cookies contain only whole grains and; because apple butter, honey, and Splenda replace most of the table sugar; are very low in refined carbohydrates (less than 5 grams processed sugars per cookie, which is about one teaspoon of sugar). Most importantly, however, is that they are a delicious, sensible treat (about 150 calories per each large cookie)!

I found a recipe in my "type up and post" pile (it's huge!) without a name, accreditation or any hint as to what it was supposed to make - with the exception of a baking temperature and time. I knew that if I had kept the recipe around, chances were I had a photo of it somewhere, and when I couldn't find it in my photostream I scoured my computer and found my answer - lurking in a forgotten folder! So my Apple Butter Bran Muffins have been rescued - good thing too because they were awesome!

You can use this as a fruit dip, pour it over waffles or pancakes, or even as a spread! The sky's the limit!

A different kind of PB Ball - and WAY more delicious and nutritious!

I threw these ingredients together, and it ended up becoming my favorite fall cake! Sorry for the ugly picture, it's all I had!

Warm or cold.
