Here is another recipe that was featured in an email from the www.hersheys.com website. One reviewer said the following: "We really liked this one - even the child who doesn't care for peanut butter! The mix of flavors and textures was interesting and made a great finish to a zippy meal. Next time I'll add some more cinnamon though as the peanut butter overwhelmed it." I may take that into consideration when I get around to trying this! :-)

Provided by Parsley

Categories     Beans

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (28 ounce) can baked beans, I like Bush's
1/8 cup grated fresh onion
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup apple butter
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl.; mix well.
  • Pour mixture into a casserole dish and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. They should be firm and tart, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Peel and core the apples: This is the most time-consuming part of the process, but it's worth it to get a smooth, creamy apple butter. You can use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to peel the apples, and then use an apple corer to remove the cores.
  • Cook the apples slowly: This allows the flavors to develop and the apples to break down completely. You can cook the apples in a slow cooker, a Dutch oven, or even a heavy-bottomed pot on the stovetop. Just be sure to keep the heat low and stir the apples frequently.
  • Add spices and sugar to taste: The amount of spices and sugar you add will depend on your personal preferences. Common spices used in apple butter include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add a little bit of brown sugar or honey for sweetness.
  • Store the apple butter properly: Once the apple butter is cooked, it can be stored in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the apple butter for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Apple butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for spreading on toast or muffins, or using as a glaze for chicken or pork. You can also add it to yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream for a sweet treat. With a little bit of time and effort, you can easily make your own apple butter at home. So next time you have a few extra apples on hand, give this recipe a try!
