Maple Spiced Apple Pumpkin Butter
Spread this hella good butter on legit anything like toast, scones, graham crackers or just spoon it into your face. It's that good. Plus it makes your house smell ah-mazing while you are cooking it so win-win. If you like, you can use only apples or only pumpkin in the recipe but I like the combo of the two. They are a beautiful marriage.
