Making apple butter in the oven, rather than on the stovetop, produces a delectable spread with a distinctive caramelized flavor. This is a healthful alternative to commercial varieties, which usually contain added sugars.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This is a KEEPER. Left on skins and added spices - thanks, klstorck20 for the tips. Tastes great on toast or in the Spiced Apple Butter Bran Muffins "
