NUTTY APPLE BUTTER

Nutty Apple Butter image

Being a New England native, I love apple-picking season. Grab some apples and peanut butter to make your own creamy riff on a PB&J. Of course it's great on a sandwich, but you can dunk sliced fruit or graham crackers in it, too. -Brandie Cranshaw, Rapid City, South Dakota
