Apple Butter

Cultural Context

Apple butter has its roots in colonial America, where it was a way to preserve the harvest. Traditionally made by slow-cooking apples with sugar and spices, this spread was often served on bread or biscuits. Today, it remains a beloved fall staple, enjoyed in various forms, from breakfast spreads to ingredients in baked goods.
