Apple Cinnamon Toast Butter
Everybody needs this homemade apple cinnamon toast flavored butter in their life.
One of my favorite restaurants is Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que.
At Lucille’s they serve the most amazing homemade biscuits and apple butter while you’re waiting for your order.
The apple butter is so good that I have to slather it on the biscuits.
I’m not sure what Lucille’s uses in their apple butter but the recipe that I came up with tastes really good.
About this Recipe
I named this recipe “Apple Cinnamon Toast Butter” because the ingredients include apple sauce and butter, and also because when it’s spread on toast, to me it tastes similar to cinnamon toast.
This apple cinnamon toast butter is made with just 4 ingredients and is simple to make.
About Serving
An option is to serve this apple cinnamon toast butter in small 4-ounce jelly mason jars, or small ramekin bowls would work nicely too.
And this flavored butter lasts nicely in the refrigerator (should be refrigerated according to the directions on the apple sauce jar that is used in this recipe).
Makes a Great Gift for the Holidays
These little jars of apple cinnamon toast butter make the best small gifts to give during the holidays.
I like to wrap them in clear cellophane that’s tied at the top with colorful ribbon for a pretty homemade look.

Hi! Do you think using powdered sugar will be a good option? Thanks!
Hi Mary, powdered sugar has cornstarch in it which could thicken the butter if added and turn out with a texture similar to that of frosting for a cake (but not as thick). If you want to try just a little bit of powdered sugar, an option is to have extra apple sauce on hand to add to the butter in case the butter mixture becomes too thick. Maybe try it out with a little sample of the recipe to see how you like it.
This may sound like a silly question, but when do I add the sugar? Is it all at once or at the end?
Hi Kary Ann, not a silly question at all! My mistake, in the directions I forgot to write in when to add the sugar. Fixing it right now. You add all of the sugar in the mixing bowl along with the butter, cinnamon, apple sauce and nutmeg. Thank you so much for asking this question!
Just wondering if I can preserve this recipe? New to canning and preserving so I’m not sure how well the butter will stand up to being preserved. I want to make a large batch but don’t want it to all go bad before it gets eaten and I don’t have room in my fridge to keep it all. Any suggestions?
Hi Kristina, freezing the butter may be an option.
Hello! I am looking forward to making this “Lucille’s” butter. My question is, should I be using salted or unsalted butter? Thanks!
Hi Addison, I like to use salted butter in this recipe. Thank you so much for stopping by!
This may be a silly question, but how much does this make? It says serves 8, but calls for 5 mason jars. I am thinking of making these for Christmas gifts and want to make sure I have enough! Thanks!
Hi Niki, great question. I think the serving size may vary depending on how much butter folks may use but 1 cube of butter equals 8 tablespoons so the 2 cubes that’s in this recipe would be 16 tablespoons. I estimated that if putting this flavored butter on a large biscuit, there may be 2 tablespoons of butter per biscuit. This is much more than what a serving of butter is but I rounded up just to be on the safe side. So in each of the 5 jars, there may be about 3 heaping tablespoons (depending on how full each jar is) which would probably end up being about 4 servings on average per small jar. Depending on what size jar you use, an option may be to try putting just regular butter into the jar to ballpark how many tablespoons will fit in the jar, then estimate 1 tablespoon or less for each serving. I hope this helps.
I made this massive BBQ spread for a summer dinner party and the most commented food was — the Honey Apple Butter. Almost everyone thought I was a genius for “hacking” Lucille’s butter. There was a lot of, “Ribs were great… But that Butter was delicious! And yes, this would’ve been a great giveaway at my party too, if I had known this was going to be a favorite. Thank you- this recipe DEFINITELY a keeper.
Hi Leeshee, that is so great to hear! It’s amazing sometimes how the easier recipes go over so well. I’m so glad your guests liked it. Thank you very much for letting me know!
Do I need to go through proper canning process in order for this to stay fresh longer? I’m planning on making these as wedding favors ahead of time.
Hi Sarah, what a great idea to make these as wedding favors! I’m not familiar with canning at all. But I did look up various flavored butter recipes and most of them mentioned to store the butter in the refrigerator. Many said the flavored butter may last for up to a couple weeks. One of the recipes suggested using it within 5 days for the best flavor. So maybe storing them in the fridge may be a possible option. Such a cute idea!
Oh please do send me a jar as well. I love the idea of apple butter and your recipe sounds fantastic.
Hi There, thank you!
