This Apple Butter Recipe is like capturing the essence of fall in a jar. 🍎🍂

It takes the flavors of tart apples, sweet maple syrup, and warm cinnamon and transforms them into a velvety smooth spread — perfect for toast, scones, oatmeal, and many other uses!

Making homemade apple butter may sound like a bit of a project. But apple butter is actually surprisingly easy to make. The only real work is chopping and peeling apples. After that, just dump ingredients in a pot and blend them up. Not too bad when you consider how much use you’ll get from this batch of appley goodness.

This recipe is also quick and easy to make. While some other apple butter recipes use a slow cooker, we simmer this apple butter over the stovetop. That allows us to get the apple butter done and ready to eat fast!

You could also double the batch, fill up some jars, and tie some ribbons around them — for the perfect host gift to your next dinner party or a special treat for your neighbors.
