Butter Me Up: 3 New Ways with Apple Butter

Apple butter – it's not applesauce, and it's not butter. What it is, though, is a delicious preserve-like concoction made by slow-cooking apples with sugar and warm spices until caramel-colored, thick and spreadable.

In honor of the return of apple season, we've developed a few entirely new recipes featuring Kowalski's Apple Butter. We're also sharing some novel ways to enjoy this buttery, sweet spread that go way beyond pancakes and toast.

New Ways with Apple Butter

• Stir it into oatmeal
