2-Minute Apple Cinnamon Peanut Butter

I have yet another way to feed the fruit and nut butter addicts of the world.

That would be me.

And possibly a few of you!

Aside from slathering apple butter on toast and muffins, swirling it into oatmeal, baking with it, and eating it with a bog ‘ol spoon, this recipe today takes it to a whole new level.

Apple butter and peanut butter were destined to be together, don’t you think?

Add a healthy dose of cinnamon with a touch of vanilla and maple syrup and you have one of my favourite butters of all time. It’s a little sweet and ultra creamy, with a hint of tart apple to round it all out.

I’m surprised at how little peanut butter I had to use to create such a creamy butter – 3 parts apple butter to 1 part peanut butter. As a result, we’re left with a rich butter that’s a lot lighter than traditional peanut butter.

My favourite way to enjoy this butter is paired with a sliced apple. Its my current go-to snack.

I’d like to let you know about an interview I did with the wonderful Suzanne Gardner from Cityline. We chat about my vegan journey, blog goals, photography, and more. If you’d like to check it out, head over to the Cityline website. Thanks again to Suzanne for the feature!

Oh my goodness! I just happened to make something so similar to this the other week. I cooked down the pears and apples my friend gave me in the crockpot until it was smooth, drizzled in maple syrup, added almond butter, cinnamon, and salt. So Yummy on oatmeal!

Wow, amazing! I’ve combined apple sauce and cashew butter before and LOVED the outcome so I’m pretty sure this would be right up there with delicious. Going to check out the interview now, that’s so exciting :)

This looks great!
I’m looking into buying a food processor and I’ve been reading about the Cuisinart Mini Prep. Do you think the Mini is big enough to make a batch of peanut butter? What kind do you use? Thanks so much for any advice you can offer!

I just recently discovered your site and I’m having so much fun trying out the recipes. On Sunday, I made the creamy tomato basil sauce.. It’s is heavenly… I tweaked it a litte by adding portabello mushrooms in the pan while the garlic was roasting and I served it over zucchini past, but I think I’m addicted to it.. Thanks so much for your site.

Hi;
I just wanted to let you know that I made your apple butter yesterday and it turned out
really well. I don’t think anyone will believe that it just has apples in it. I put it on my oatmeal for breakfast today and it was so good. I will have to try it with peanut butter also. Thanks for your wonderful blog with such great recipes.

I’ve been getting quite tired of peanut butter and this looks like the perfect way to spruce it up and make it something I’ll love again without simply adding a ton of sugar to it. It is apple season too. Thanks for the creativity and spicing up my life!

I just made some Pumpkin Apple Butter for the first time and I am totally looking for ways to use it all. This is a wonderful idea that I want to try, but my first idea was a re-imagination of PB&J. I was thinking almond flax butter with my pumpkin apple butter grilled Panini style. So you think that will be good? – Kristina @ alittlebitwonderful.com

I love the Mason jars. Are they the pint size jars? I recently saw a sale in my area and thought about picking some up. Glass jars are my new way of transporting food too and from work. My co-workers are catching on as we all hate the BPAs and other chemicals from plasticware.

Angela, this looks and sounds so good, can’t wait to try it. Thanks to you and your amazing nut butters, pumpkin butters, oat meal recipes with fruits, I have turned into an oat meal addict….I can’t wait for breakfast!!! I love your blog and shared it with my friends! Thank you!

Ohh WOW – this looks and sounds amazing!! I’ve never heard of or seen Apple Butter before – I’m in the UK :P but I see this recipe in my future and have some plans already about what I’ll do with it :)

Angela, my son and I produce for our local farmers market, Kamms Corners Farmers Market here in Cleveland, OH, and we we pleased to recommend you site for patty pan/sunburst squash recipes. We received great feedback. Keep up the good work. I am sure we will reccommend more of your great recipes. Tom and Nick White

Oh my god. It was delicious but I just realized I’ve been drinking it like it’s a breakfast shake. and that’s not what it is. It functioned well in that capacity (a little thick maybe) but I’m going to grab a piece of toast next time I take it out of the fridge. I’ll read the titles better in the future.

This is the best recipe ever! I just got done making it and tasting it, yum! I actually made the apple butter in a pan in the stove (couldn’t wait 4 hrs, way to impatient) it worked out great, and my first time making it. Love that there isn’t any sugar in it at all, nor does it need it! Can’t wait to have some on a piece of toast, after it cools. Thanks for the great recipe!

Can’t keep it in stock! Made it with almond butter for those who have allergies and I can’t keep it stocked in my fridge. I’m going to have to put the finished product in a mayonnaise jar or something! Thanks for all of the wonderful recipes.

Many thanks for the fantastic recipe! I had a surplus of apples and a few small jars of various nut butters from a healthy food store sitting around. I made naked apple butter following your recipe, – with peel, no sugar, in a slow cooker, – and put it in a blender with nut butter and two spoons of maple syrup. I made several batches, – with cashew, almond, and peanut butter. All three came out delicious. I filled glass jars with twist caps up to the brim while still hot, twisted on the caps, and they nicely popped in when cooling.
This is such a versatile spread. I used the apple-almond spread instead of the usual cream-cheese icing on a carrot cake. Next time will try in a Swiss roll. And great on a rice cake for a snack!
