  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the apple butter and eggs until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
