You know it’s September so it’s all about apples and pumpkins around here and what better than combining the two? I am an apple butter girl-I prefer it over jam or jelly any day. I got to thinking when making my Pumpkin Pie Dip the other day that I should try to add some pumpkin to my favorite apple butter recipe.
I don’t do the crockpot method of apple butter making that I see all over Pinterest-I’m the impatient sort when it comes to getting my apple butter fix-I make mine in less than an hour and I promise it’s every bit as delectable as long-cooking versions. Add pumpkin to the mix and this is a fall favorite!

I like to eat this pumpkin apple butter on toast, biscuits, or by dunking the cinnamon sugar chips I shared with you in my post on Pumpkin Pie Dip!
I hope you try this one-it’s amazing if you’re a pumpkin love like me!

Can you make this to can for later?

Do you leave the peeling on the apples?
Cindy
Hi,
So when you make apple butter is this the recipe you use minus the pumpkin? I want to try both ways. Have you tried canning or freezing this?
Melissa
I haven’t canned or frozen this Cindy but this is about what I do with apple butter-I just use one or two more apples in place of the pumpkins!

This would make a great hostess gift. Yum!
