    Apple butter is not your standard applesauce, but oh, is it extremely delicious!! Cooking the apples for several hours is what sets the two like-minded apple dishes apart.

    The problem is, most apple butter recipes call for brown sugar and white sugar. Imagine that!? Two kinds of sugars when all it takes is honey or maple syrup. And when it is done, the apple butter is added to cinnamon rolls, muffins, pies, and pancakes. Gluten-galore!

    Of course, Paleo enthusiasts are apt to find a way around everything. We make our Paleo pancakes from a mixture of sweet potatoes and cassava flour. We bake homemade muffins with coconut flour, and, while Keto bread may be a thing of the future, we still indulge in a slice from time to time.

    However, in the very unlikely case that we can't find anything to spread the mouthwatering, creamy apple butter on, there is always a slice of bacon waiting to be fried and used as a scoop.

    Solutions are out there, one only needs to look for them, and they will appear. It may be worth mentioning, that Paleo apple butter pairs well with grilled pork chops, and a side salad too.

    As an added bonus, when you simmer this apple butter for half the day, your home will smell like a scrumptious apple pie without the crust. Cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y, and all-around exquisite. The hardest part is waiting until it chills to take a bite!
