Apple Butter

Apple Butter is a thick, sweet spread made by slowly cooking down apples (often with spices) until they concentrate into a smooth, jam-like paste; it appears in North American and German cuisine (where it is called Apfelbutter) and is commonly used on toast, biscuits, or in baking. Nutritionally Apple Butter is a concentrated fruit product and is high in sugars — about 45g per 100g — because much of the water and pulp from the fruit are reduced during cooking. Because it’s a fruit-based spread, it provides some fiber and small amounts of potassium and B6, but it is low in protein and primarily serves as a sweet condiment rather than a nutrient-dense food.
