| Apples are slow cooked with brown sugar and spices for hours, caramelized to make this sweet thick dark apple preserve. It's late autumn in New York, the air is crisp, the leaves are falling off the trees and apple season is nearing it's end. A great way to preserve those apples for the winter months is to make apple butter. You can jar this to preserve for later use or you can refrigerate to use right away. Apple butter is great on pancakes, biscuits, oatmeal, as a condiment, with pork, or you can bake with it. I'm looking forward to trying this grilled turkey, brie and apple butter sandwich from Tyler Florence with my leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Doesn't that sound amazing! What's your favorite way to use apple butter?
