With only 4 ingredients, turn your ordinary butter into something special. The honey and powdered sugar give way to the perfect blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice berries. Spread Apple Spice Butter on your morning toast, muffins, waffles, French Toast, or dinner rolls. How about a pat in your oatmeal? Yummy!
You’ll love how easy it is to make, and it has only 4 ingredients. Awesome, right?
Most people have heard of cinnamon butter, especially if you eat out often. This is similar, only here we’re using Apple Pie Spice, which is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground up allspice berries.
Delicious and a great compliment to anything you spread it on.
Let’s do this…
Starting with your butter, bring to room temperature either salted or unsalted butter. It’s really just a preference, I use the salted.
Just mix the honey into the butter, then add in the Apple Pie Spice and powdered sugar.
If you’re using an electric mixer, let the butter get light and fluffy.
Check out the cool the little dark specks from the Apple Pie Spice.
Here’s where I like to pipe the Apple Spice Butter into a jar, if for no other reason than to make it look pretty.
In fact, here’s a great gift idea…double or triple the recipe and put the butter in some cute little jars with a ribbon.
Don’t give them all away, though, save one for yourself.
If you love Apple Pie Spice, you might love these Apple Spice Muffins shown above.
I made the muffins and the butter at the same time…I had the Apple Pie Spice out and figured I might as well.
They didn’t last long, but luckily there was enough butter left for dinner rolls and French Toast the next morning.

A final thought, I’m more of a butter-girl, but I’m sure this would work just as well with margarine. Let me know if you try it.
As always, thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day.

This recipe sounds amazing and I love anything with apple in it. How long will this last in the fridge? Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
Thanks, Debi…store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Enjoy!
Can this be used in a cake recipe?
Hi Phillip: What a great question. The short answer is probably not. The reason is that the chemistry of Apple Spice Butter includes the honey and powdered sugar. If a cake requires butter in the cake batter before baking, this chemistry is different than straight butter and may change the texture, or even how it sets up. Maybe not enough to notice, but since I haven’t tried it, and I don’t know how you want to use it in a cake recipe, I can’t say how it will turn out. Please let me know if you do try it and… Read more »
