STOVETOP APPLE BUTTER
The taste of homemade apple butter is worth the time it takes to make this delectable spread. My dad's family made theirs in the backyard in a big copper kettle over a fire of burning hedge wood. It took 6 bushels of apples, 60 lbs. of sugar, four cinnamon sticks, a lemon slice and about 9 hours of constant stirring to make 18 gal. of apple butter-about a year's supply! -Rev.

APPLE BUTTER QUICK BREAD
Apple butter gives this bread a deep autumnal flavor and helps keep it moist for several days after baking. Whole-wheat flour adds a bit of heartiness to the batter, which can be made using only one bowl and a whisk.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar and brown sugar until well combined (you may need to switch to a rubber spatula after a bit). Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition to incorporate. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Add the apple butter and yogurt and mix well to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the surface of the loaf generously with turbinado sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

SPEEDY APPLE BUTTER
After I read an article in Country EXTRA about a church group in Tennessee that made apple butter, I thought I would share a recipe I've used for many years. This shortcut version only takes about a half hour to make, and it starts with applesauce. I make my own sauce from the Golden Delicious apple tree in my yard. I hope someone who just wants to remember the taste of "homemade" apple butter, but in a small amount, will enjoy it.

APPLE BUTTER BREAD
I found this through my electric co-op magazine and boy am I ever glad I did. Truly a nice moist quick bread. The key to this bread is obtaining a dark, rich apple butter - the darker the better for flavor. I used White House Apple Butter which was wonderful and outside of my mom's fresh homemade apple butter it is the best I've tried. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, cinnamon and cloves.
- Whisk in the water, then oil, then brown sugar, then the eggs (not all together). Mix until smooth.
- Sift together (important so you don't get white lumps in your dark bread), flour, baking soda and salt. Then combine with the apple butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or 3 to 4 mini-loaf pans.
- Bake at 350F for 65-70 minutes for the 9-inch pan or 45-50 minutes for the mini-loaves.
- Let stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the pans and letting cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful apples for the best apple butter. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make apple butter on the stovetop. Just be sure to stir it frequently to prevent it from burning.
- Add spices and flavorings to taste. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract.
- Apple butter can be canned or frozen for later use.
Conclusion:

It can also be used as a glaze for chicken, pork, or fish. And it's a great addition to pies, cakes, and other desserts.
