Notes
While traditional apple butter is made with brown sugar and spices, there are many variations and flavor combinations to try. For example, you can use honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness level. You can also experiment with different types of apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for a unique flavor profile.
