Apple Butter

The **Apple Butter**, also known as **Apple Butter**, is a recipe whose origins are not entirely clear. Despite its name, it seems to derive from a Swiss recipe known as *vin cuit*, which involved cooking various types of fruit, including apples, until reaching a thick and creamy consistency. This product can be considered a true **Butter Substitute**, as well as a much healthier alternative to margarine.

The **Apple Butter Recipe** is a traditional Belgian pastry recipe, where it is used to fill many types of traditional desserts. In Belgium, it is often used as a spread to enrich children’s snacks. In the **Original Apple Butter Recipe**, **Apple Cider** is used as the liquid part of the preparation, but over the centuries it has been replaced with plain water. There are also many valid versions of the **Belgian Apple Butter**, such as **Sugar-Free Apple Butter**, where sugar is completely omitted, or, as in our version, replaced with honey, resulting in a perfect **Apple Butter with Honey**. There is also the **Spiced Apple Butter**, where additional spices such as **Ground Cloves** are added alongside cinnamon, and the **Salted Apple Butter**, where a pinch of salt is also added.

In addition to replacing butter in desserts, **Apple Butter** is excellent for spreading on bread or toast, and also as a filling for tarts and cookies. As you can guess from the list of ingredients, this is a **Vegetarian Recipe**, perfect for those following a **Vegan Diet**. But let’s take a moment to look at the ingredients to understand **How to Make Apple Butter**. In addition to **Apples**, you will need **Water** and **Lemon**. At your discretion, and depending on how you intend to use it, you can also add flavors such as **Cinnamon and Vanilla**.
