Description

Enjoy farm fresh apple butter made for us by a 7th generation family owned orchard and canning facility in the northern Shenandoah Valley. 

Apple Butter is produced by the long, slow cooking of apples, with added “warming spices”, to a point where the sugar in the apples carmalizes, resulting in a dark brown spread with intense apple flavor.  The term “butter” refers to the butter-like thick, soft consistency and the use of it as a spread.  There is no actual dairy butter in the product.

Our 8 oz and 17 oz Apple Butter is 100% natural with no added sugar.  Our 38 oz Apple Butter has added sugar.  Our Pecan Apple Butter is sweetened with a combination of brown sugar, crushed pineapple and raisins.

Beyond the usual use of apple butter as a spread, it is also a great additon to baked goods, BBQ sauces, marinades and glazes.  Use it as a side, add it to carnitas, stir it into plain yoghurt, drizzle it over vanilla ice cream or a pound cake or add it as a condiment to a cheese plate paired with cheddar, brie or goat cheese.  It makes a great pizza sauce topped with ham, smoked gouda cheese and arugula…trust us and try it!  Apple butter is the perfect combination of sweet and savory!
