Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 1 cup of softened unsalted butter into a stand mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually incorporate 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt into the whipped butter, mixing on low speed. Once combined, increase to medium and mix for an additional minute.
  3. Add ¼ cup of apple butter to the mixture, beat on medium for 2 to 5 minutes until fluffy and well combined.
  4. Evaluate the consistency; add more apple butter if too thick, or additional powdered sugar if too runny.
  5. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg during the final mixing phase.
