Batman Orchards Apple Butter 9 oz
What it is
This is a smooth, spreadable fruit butter made from apples. It is cooked down with spices until it thickens and deepens in flavor. The process concentrates the natural sweetness of the apples. It has a rich, jam-like consistency but is made without added pectin. The flavor is warm and comforting, reminiscent of baked apples.
