It is a great way to use up extra apple butter that you may have in your fridge or pantry. We make apple butter in the fall and always have lots of it. It is such a fun family tradition.

This bread is very easy to make and stores great in the refrigerator. It would be perfect to give out as gifts this Christmas season.
