What Apples should I use for Homemade Apple Butter?
Practically any variety of apple should work well to make apple butter. If possible, we recommend sticking to softer apples to help them cook down better. Some of our favorite softer variety of apples are:
FujiJonagoldMcIntoshGolden Delicious
Use a blend of apple varieties for the best flavor.
Smooth vs. Chunky:
You can determine how smooth or chunky you want your apple butter by how long you puree or blend. We love a good, smooth apple butter, but feel free to leave it as chunky as you like! If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious Fall snack and dessert recipes:
