Does Apple Butter Taste Like Butter?
Apple butter does not taste like butter. Despite its name, it does not contain any dairy products. Apple butter is made by reducing cooked apples and spices into a smooth, spreadable and thick consistency. It has a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, with some additional spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves added to it. As such, apple butter is a popular condiment that can be consumed with a variety of foods like toast, oatmeal, pancakes, or as a filling in pies and pastries.
