I have yet another way to feed the fruit and nut butter addicts of the world.
That would be me.
And possibly a few of you!
Aside from slathering apple butter on toast and muffins, swirling it into oatmeal, baking with it, and eating it with a bog ‘ol spoon, this recipe today takes it to a whole new level.
Apple butter and peanut butter were destined to be together, don’t you think?
Add a healthy dose of cinnamon with a touch of vanilla and maple syrup and you have one of my favourite butters of all time. It’s a little sweet and ultra creamy, with a hint of tart apple to round it all out.
I’m surprised at how little peanut butter I had to use to create such a creamy butter – 3 parts apple butter to 1 part peanut butter. As a result, we’re left with a rich butter that’s a lot lighter than traditional peanut butter.

Have yourself a great Tuesday.
Just pinned! Yum!
;) Same here. Great combination! Yummy!
This sounds delicious!!
Thanks ladies, hope you enjoy it!
HOLY YUM! Does this need to be refrigerated?! PINNED!
Yes, good q! I will add this into the directions.
Uh…this is genius, you realize that right? (Duh) I don’t have apple butter on hand right now but I DO have a few others until I can get/make some!
I just saw someone post a jar of this from their Foodie Penpal… I was insanely jealous, but now I can just make my own… maybe with a pinch of cloves and nutmeg too? Brilliant idea!!!
I wonder if this would work with pumpkin butter? I have a bunch of pumpkin butter that I accidentally added too much spice to and need to mellow it out a bit.
I think it would for sure. I made something using Pumpkin butter for my cookbook and it turned out incredible!
FYI- pumpkin butter mixed with peanut butter was amazing! I had to add just a touch of water because I don’t have a high speed blender or food processor but it was still wonderful!
wow!
Would have never thought of this! What a great ideal I am gonna give it a try!! I love guilt free butters with a twist!!!
I totally thought the first picture was a milkshake and instantly wanted to gulp it all down :P Either way, milkshake or spread, this looks delicious!!!
This looks lovely!
What a great autumn flavor!
What a delicious idea- and so simply, too.
Ah this looks amazing. Guess I will have to make your apple butter now!
You are a genius. This sounds so incredibly good – I think I might make jars of it as holiday gifts! Unless of course I eat it all, because fruit and nut butter were made for each other. :)
Big congrats on the interview Ange! :)
Thanks Lauren!
The combo of PB & apples (with cinnamon!) is a winner, for sure!
This looks delicious! Now I just need to try out your apple butter.
Oh my goodness! I just happened to make something so similar to this the other week. I cooked down the pears and apples my friend gave me in the crockpot until it was smooth, drizzled in maple syrup, added almond butter, cinnamon, and salt. So Yummy on oatmeal!
Love this recipe Ange!!
