Once you have a jar or two of this apple butter in your refrigerator, you'll find all kinds of uses for it. Our favorite is just to spread it on some toasted English muffins. But, it can also be a nice addition to waffles or pancakes. You'll know what to do with it once you taste this apple butter.
I like also that you bake this apple butter instead of cooking it on the stove top. You hardly have to watch it at all. Just pull it out of the oven every 20 to 30 minutes or so, give it a stir, and pop it back in the oven. Very simple!
