I had some butterscotch chips leftover from last week’s apple butterscotch cookies recipe so I needed to use them in something tasty. My husband I also visited Louisburg Cider Mill in Louisburg, KS on a whim over the weekend. Even though everything is pretty much out of season by the first weekend in December, we still got to enjoy some of their apple donuts and peruse their general store, and ended up heading home with a combo-pack of three of their butters: apple butter (of course), pumpkin butter and peach butter, which I used in this little recipe. I went out on a limb here and guessed that peaches and butterscotch went together, but my husband will have to be the final judge of that. (Side note – I personally think fresh peach butter smells like dirty gym socks, so I also went out on a limb here in assuming it’d be better after baking, and thankfully I was right.) Enjoy!
