Flavored with deep, caramelized honey and apple butter, this rich, sweet compound butter is the perfect way to start a meal.
If you can’t find apple butter at your local grocery store, you can still make this: simply cook down a bunch of apple sauce, mixed with a dash of cinnamon and sugar to taste, until the mixture becomes jammy, and dark brown. That will be your homemade apple butter to use in this recipe!
Want to keep the appetizers dairy-free or parve? Use vegan butter for an equally delicious result.

Looks amazing!
Could I use maple syrup or agave instead of honey? Thanks!
Hi Johnna, absolutely, those would work just as well 🙂
