More About This Recipe

  • Fall just isn’t the same without a big batch of apple butter! If this is your first year making it, consider using Betty’s guide to the best recipe ever. It’s a great way to use up all of your extra apples from the orchard! And there are seemly endless uses, both sweet and savory. We love simply spreading it across a warm biscuit or using it in comforting dishes like this Mac and Cheese. And if you’re an apple butter pro, don’t stop there! Betty has lots of uses for all your apple syrups, ciders and sauces.
