Wine Advice:
Apple butter is a versatile condiment that pairs well with various dishes, from breakfast to dessert. Consider serving it alongside a cheese platter with a semi-sweet Riesling or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. If you’re enjoying it with breakfast foods like toast or oatmeal, a light-bodied sparkling wine or a chilled apple cider would be a refreshing choice.Nutritional Information
