This is a simple family recipe that we’ve been perfecting for years—three wholesome, natural ingredients (four if you count the water in the steam kettle). It starts with crisp, ripe apples, grown without pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers. Ground up and cooked, the apples are strained to make a smooth puree. This we sweeten with pure maple syrup, made the old-fashioned way, with a bucket hanging from each tree, the sap cooked down on a wood fired evaporator. To this perfect blend we add a touch of organic cinnamon. That’s it.
Once you try a spoonful of out Apple Spread, you’ll probably need a few more before you can put the lid back on. If you have the willpower to save it, you may enjoy Mapple on toast, bagels, biscuits, crackers, pretzels, crepes, pancakes, waffles, or a slice of bread. Try it in a sandwich with peanut butter. Heat it up and pour it over vanilla ice cream for a Mapple sundae. Dab it onto your oatmeal or granola. Use it as a pastry filling. And sneak another spoonful before you put it away.
Why is our Apple Spread so good? It’s the magic combination of maple and apple—not overcooked, not overspiced, not oversweetened. There is no secret ingredient; just fantastic ingredients and a better process. Our Apple Spread is cooked for less time than a traditional apple butter, resulting in a fuller, less pasty texture that doesn’t run, and a fresher apple flavor. Our Apple Spread is lightly seasoned—leaving out the clove, nutmeg, allspice, and cider vinegar, so the harmony of maple and apple can shine through. And our Apple Spread is lower in sugar. (The FDA stipulates that apple butter must contain at least 43% soluble sugars; our Apple Spread content is well below that.)
Our Apple Spread is made at our facility in Bruce, Wisconsin, in small batches of about 200 jars. You can stop in for a tour and a taste, browse our store, and enjoy the rich aroma of cooking apples (if we’re making a batch that day).
For those concerned about nut allergies: we do process wild nuts in our facility—hickory nuts, acorns, black walnuts, and hazelnuts. However, our nut products are produced in a separate room from our fruit products, using no shared equipment, and we are constantly vigilant to avoid cross-contamination.
