Evan Williams Bourbon Apple Butter
What it is
This is a rich, smooth spread made from cooked apples, sugar, and spices, with the added depth of bourbon. The apples are slow-cooked until they break down into a thick, spreadable consistency. The bourbon adds a subtle warmth and complexity that distinguishes it from traditional apple butter. It offers a balance of sweet and tart apple flavors enhanced by the distinct notes of the bourbon.
How people cook with it
Bourbon apple butter is a versatile condiment that can be used in both sweet and savory applications. It brings a unique flavor profile to many dishes.
- Spread on toast
- Glaze for pork
- Swirl into yogurt
- Flavor for baked goods
Enjoy this apple butter straight from the jar as a spread on your morning toast or biscuits. It also works wonderfully as a glaze for roasted meats, particularly pork or chicken, adding a sweet and boozy finish. Stir a spoonful into oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese for an elevated breakfast. It can be incorporated into baked goods like muffins, cakes, or cookies to impart a rich apple and bourbon flavor. For a simple dessert, serve it alongside a cheese board.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular apple butter, the inclusion of bourbon provides a more sophisticated flavor. The alcohol is cooked off, leaving behind a nuanced aroma and taste that complements the fruitiness of the apples. This bourbon-infused version offers a deeper, slightly warmer profile than standard apple butter.
