I don’t care who you are or where you’re from, if you like apples, you’ll love apple butter. The thick, creamy cousin of applesauce, this rich golden condiment makes a great fruit dip, pancake topping, and subs well for jam in PB&J or PB in ants on a log. Or just eat it off a spoon like I did!

Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?

The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.
