Indulge in the cozy flavors of fall with this Dairy-Free Apple Butter Toast, a delightful breakfast or snack option that's as wholesome as it is satisfying. Made with rich, homemade apple butter crafted from unsweetened applesauce, a touch of maple syrup, and warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, this spread is slow-cooked to perfection for a thick, velvety texture. Paired with golden, crispy sourdough toasted in fragrant coconut oil, this dairy-free recipe bursts with flavor while being simple to prepare. Elevate each slice with optional toppings like a sprinkle of cinnamon or crunchy chopped nuts for added flair. Perfect for plant-based eaters or anyone craving a naturally sweet, comforting treat, this toast is an effortless way to brighten up your mornings or enjoy a cozy afternoon snack.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened apple sauce, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and sea salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the apple mixture for about 45-60 minutes, or until it thickens to a spreadable consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once thickened, remove the apple butter from the heat and let it cool slightly.
While the apple butter cools, toast the sourdough bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Lightly brush or drizzle the melted coconut oil over the toasted sourdough slices.
Spread a generous layer of the cooled apple butter over each piece of toast.
Serve immediately, with optional garnishes such as a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a few chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
