For the preparation we recommend you use some sweet and slightly floury apples like the Royal Gala or the Golden. Apple butter uses the sugar naturally present in the fruit which, with slow and prolonged cooking, allows the cream to brown. In our recipe we used brown sugar to obtain a slightly sweet note; you can replace it with coconut sugarof the honey or a sweetener with a lower glycemic impact, such as‘erythritol.
