Want to incorporate more fruits in your child’s diet? How about trying this maple apple butter recipe: it is an easy fruit recipe for kids. They can even help you make it and of course enjoy it. Remember the waffle apple butter snack recipe I shared a while ago? I used a store bought apple butter. I loved it and wondered if I could make one on my own. After all, I had a basket full of apples that were about to rot. My daughter and I went apple picking to two different places in the same week. So we had lots of apples on hand.
What I love about this maple apple butter recipe is that it is easy to make, and you can store it for 3 weeks in the fridge. It’s also a great family gift idea during the holidays. A gift for the hostess or your neighbor. Nothing like homemade treats to please loved ones, right?

Maple Apple Butter Recipe: Easy Fruit Recipe for Kids
How to make this easy fruit recipe for kids
I found this apple butter recipe in a French cookbook: À l’Érable. I did not find an English version. If I do find it, I will let you know, as I love their maple recipes: easy and simple to make!
Ingredients
- 5 apples. I used McIntosh ones. The book recommended Cortland.
- 1/2 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of margarine. The book suggested butter, but I prefer margarine as it is lighter.
Make this maple apple butter recipe:
- Wash and peel the apples
- Dice them
- In a pot, add syrup and margarine (or butter)
- bring to the boil
- Add apples
- Reduce heat. Let is simmer for 30 minutes or until apples are tender
- Puree the mixture in your(affiliate link) blender
- Let it cool and store it in resealable containers up to 3 weeks in a fridge
You can eat it with your favorite waffle recipe, crepe recipe or just with bread. I find it is a great snack recipe for kids when they get back to school. It gives them enough energy to wait until dinner and to do their homework.

I have had apple butter before and I live in New Hampshire so there is homemade maple syrup everywher but I never thought to add it to apple butter. My daughter and I will be trying this out for thanksgiving dinner.
Oh that sounds fantastic. I have to make it for my kids.
That sounds delicious! I bet it would be great on an English muffin!
I love apple butter! I’ve never had it with maple in it, that sounds intriguing.
This sounds delish! I love apple butter, but have never tried “maple” apple butter. I can’t wait to try it!
I am sure this would be delicious with a mix of different apples as well. Sounds yummy!
