Apple butter is fantastic! But where are you getting it at $10 a jar?! That seems ludicrous to me. I think I bought some at Wal-Mart for less than $4. And I know you can get higher quality apple butter at Cracker Barrel for a little more, but not $10 a jar.
I can't wait for the apple butter festival.  It's the best place to get apple butter.

I don't see where you're finding it for ten dollars a jar either.  Do you have a Kroger type store near you?  If so, they, like WalMart, sell it for around three or four dollars a bar.
Don't know if you have Trader Joe's around you, but they stock apple butter and almond butter for a lot less money (maybe 2 or 3 dollars a jar?). My favorite is their seasonal pumpkin butter, though. Yum.
Almond butter is delicioussss!
Its fun switching up peanut butter sandwiches and using almond butter instead.
And ive even heard that its better for you then pb.

YUM to both!

Apple butter is GREAT on toast, oatmeal, in a sandwich.

Almond butter is delicious too, anywhere you would use PB.  I make my own, its really easy and TONS cheaper than buying it pre-made.

never tried, or even seen apple butter, but at our local supermarkets a TINY bottle of almond butter can go for about $8. and yet I bought a massive like 4L pail of natural PB for like $6.

I crave almond butter.. on brown rice cakes it is sooooooo good. But I only buy it once in a while because of the price. I've also tried cashew butter.. but I prefer to eat whole cashews instead.


My understanding of the benefit of almond butter over peanut butter (which I generally use to replace) is that almonds are healthier than peanuts because peanuts grow in the ground (ground nut) and absorbs more toxins in the soil than almonds (and cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc - all tree nuts). I imagine organic peanuts/peanut butter might alleviate this problem?

I like apple butter - on pancakes! Isn't it just concentrated apple sauce with spices?
