Sweet and creamy with warming spices, nothing says fall like this apple butter. Perfect on a cheese board, brushed on grilled pork chops, or just slathered on fresh baked bread, versatility is the name of the game here! Be sure to use “baking” apples for this recipe (Granny Smith is the most popular variety) as the tart flavor will prevent the butter from becoming too sweet. It’s not necessary to peel the apples, but you can if you’d like. The peels contain pectin, which will yield a thicker finished product (closer to a jam).
