This stovetop apple butter is a rich, silky spread that captures all the cozy flavors of apple season. Simmered slowly with warm spices, apple cider, and a splash of citrus, it transforms simple apples into a smooth, deeply flavorful treat. Perfect on toast, biscuits, pancakes—or straight from the spoon.
Unlike chunky versions, this method creates a velvety texture with no lumps—just pure apple bliss.
