"Honey isn't just sweeter than sugar, but it's also much more complex, with tasting notes that range from floral to fruity. Furthermore, it's an ingredient that can enhance the flavor of fruit, like we do in this simple fruit salad with honey-lime dressing. The tasting notes in your honey brand of choice will bring more depth of flavor to apple butter while also sweetening it. As a liquid ingredient, honey will easily disperse throughout the stewed apples as you blend them."
"Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you can start with three-quarters of a cup of honey for every two pounds of apples. Another idea is to use honey and brown sugar in equal amounts like we do in our recipe for honey apple butter. The floral fruitiness of the honey will compliment the deep caramelized richness of the brown sugar for an especially complex sweetness to pair with the baking spices and the ideal kind of apples."
Apple butter contains no dairy; apples are stewed with spices, sugar, and cider into an ultra-concentrated applesauce reduction with a smooth, silky texture and deep caramelized color. Honey provides a more complex sweetness than sugar, with tasting notes from floral to fruity, and enhances fruit flavors when incorporated. Honey disperses easily as a liquid when blended into stewed apples and can be used as the sole sweetener or combined with brown sugar. Start with three-quarters of a cup of honey per two pounds of apples or use equal parts honey and brown sugar for layered sweetness. Warm spices such as cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves complement the caramelized richness and an acidic component like lemon juice or vinegar balances sweetness.
