Earlier this year, I posted the spiced apple cake with orange glaze recipe that used Musselman’s apple butter. Recently, I received another jar of it to post about it and I made some autumn pumpkin apple butter dip using it. It’s so easy that I had to share.

Pumpkin Apple Butter

Like I said, this little pumpkin apple butter dip recipe is so simple, I’m not sure how I didn’t think of it before now. However, the people over at Musselman’s did, so that’s what matters. It’s a delicious dip that is great for multiple baked goods. We made some scones (stay tuned for that recipe) for them, but I could definitely see it going well with some honey pretzel sticks. They suggest serving it with gingersnaps or graham crackers, which could also be good. Additional serving suggestions from them include pancakes, waffles, french toast sticks, and spreading it on bagels. Yum! Just thinking about the possibilities makes my mouth water.

So, let’s get to this ridiculously easy pumpkin apple butter dip recipe!

Was I right? Is that not the easiest and simplest recipe I’ve ever posted? My boyfriend was actually surprised that I would do this recipe to feature on here because it is so simple. However, I think simple is usually good. So, I hope at least one of my readers is able to try this pumpkin apple butter recipe and enjoy it. It’s certainly the perfect dip for fall. Just smelling it reminds me of cooler days and sweet treats.

We were hit with a big snow storm on Thursday night while I was staying at my boyfriend’s house. It knocked out the power until Saturday night. Within hours of the power being back on, we made this lovely spiced apple cake using Musselman’s apple butter. Between the use of oranges, apple butter, and spices it’s a great winter treat to warm up with!

Note: we used whole wheat flour which made it darker and a little heartier. You can use a flour of your choosing, know it may turn out looking a little differently. I think it will probably be delicious regardless of the type of flour used.

I don’t typically like orange-flavored stuff. However, I really liked this cake. The orange glaze goes well with the cake. The different flavors compliment each other well. Plus, the glaze gave the cake a different consistency on top. Then again, I’ve liked every other thing I’ve made featuring Musselman’s apple butter, including the apple butter bbq sauce I made. My boyfriend also loved this cake since he is a huge fan of oranges. It was the perfect way to celebrate the return of the electricity.

Disclosure: I received the apple butter used in this recipe for free. No compensation was received. The opinions expressed are my own.
