I’ll admit it. I’m a complete Fall snob when it comes to cooking and baking. I’m obnoxiously obsessed with ANYTHING pumpkin spice/apple/salted carmel and embrace the cooler weather (which is relative since I live in California, please don’t hate me if you live anywhere that actually gets cold).
Now that it’s finally October, I can launch myself completely into the spirit of Fall-cooking without getting ostracized by my friends for being THAT girl who orders a pumpkin spice latte in September.
And man, do I have a fantastic recipe for you guys today! Think pumpkin spice. Think apples. Think butter! That’s right, pumpkin spice apple butter!
I can’t get over how delicious this recipe turned out. Honestly, it’s perfection! It has a sweet flavor that embodies the flavors of Fall and tastes like the inside of an apple pie. Another bonus? It goes fantastically on anything! Toast, bananas, oatmeal, ice-cream, you name it! I couldn’t help but sneak bites as it was cooking and loved the texture and flavor.
If the “it tastes like the inside of an apple pie” hasn’t convinced you, take the testimonies of a half dozen friends that randomly walked into my apartment as it was cooking. The air was thick with “oh my god”, “that’s DELICIOUS”, and “hold on, I need to make a bowl of oatmeal!”
The last one being my friend Ryan. I think that when a recipe can convince a 6″3 male college student that the thing he needs to do most in the world is make a bowl of oatmeal to top with your creation, it can be called a success. ;). This is him proceeding to feed everyone in his vicinity some of his oats hahah. Look at the glee on that boy’s face!
MAKE THIS. Then eat all of it.
If you’re going to pin this recipe, please pin this picture!

Hahaha it’s just a precautionary side note ;). I’m proud of myself for not inhaling all of it in one day!

Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
Looks so good!!! Thoughts on subbing in coconut palm sugar for brown/white sugar? I have a feeling I could eat the whole batch in one sitting!
Christine Skari says
I think that would be delicious as well! Since you’re cooking the apples for a while, the sugar will caramelize and be drool worthy :). Haha I have a hard time restraining myself!
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
