Right up to a few years ago  I had never heard or tasted apple butter. The first time I had a sample was at an apple orchard close to home. It was an intensely sweet spread but I loved the flavors so much I decided to make my own with less sweetness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple butter is basically apple sauce, but thicker and spiced with warm autumn spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It\u2019s a luscious, smooth and sweet spread to slather over toast throughout the fall season. It also wonderful to add to fall treats as a base for all your fall baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
