  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple butter bars a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core your apples before cooking them. This will help to make the apple butter smooth and free of any unwanted pieces of peel or core.
  • Cook the apples until they are very soft. This will help to release their natural pectin, which will help to thicken the apple butter.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in apple butter include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Let the apple butter cool completely before using it. This will help it to thicken and develop its full flavor.
