2. As a sauce to accompany pork loin or pork chops.
3. Add it to your morning oatmeal.
4. In sandwiches: grilled turkey,brie and apple butter sandwich
5. Flour tortillas crepes - heat the tortillas with a little oil, roll them up with apple butter as a filling. Then sprinkle them with a little cinnamon and sugar and toss them back in the skillet for a bit to caramelize the sugar and give them a crispy coating.

12. Marinate fish (try salmon)  in a ginger teriyaki for a few hours, then put apple butter on both sides of the fish. If you like Blackened Cajun still, also sprinkle with red pepper.  Then, either way,  wrap in tin foil and put on the grill for 10 minutes or until flaky.
