The forbidden fruit is versatile, too. When temperatures drop, there's nothing like the warm, comforting aroma of simmering apple butter to brighten the gloom of a dark winter day. Try this easy crockpot version that doesn't skimp on taste.
Note: McIntosh and Rome Beauty apples (like the single one in the picture) are good choices for this recipe.
Want to try the old-fashioned way? This apple butter bakes in the oven.
