Delicious Apple Desserts That Steal the Spotlight from Pumpkin Spice

Apple butter is a smooth, spiced spread made by slowly cooking apples until they become caramelized and silky. Unlike applesauce, it’s thicker and richer, with deep notes of cinnamon and cloves. Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or use it as a filling for baked goods. It’s a cozy kitchen project that fills your home with the smell of autumn.

Ingredients (for about 2 cups):

• 6 apples, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. Place apples, sugar, spices, and water in a slow cooker.
2. Cook on low for 6–8 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Continue cooking, uncovered, for 1–2 hours, or until the mixture has thickened.
