Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter Review

I received this product to review.  All opinions are 100% my own.





This product is listed in my Holiday Gift Guide 2014.  A jar would make a perfect stocking stuffer!  A 6oz  jar is $12, a wrapped jar is $14, and a gift set containing four different 1.5oz  jams is $18.  




I love fall, the flavors of fall are like no other to me.  When I was given the opportunity to try Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter I was so excited.  I love apple butter, it is one of my favorite things.

I love the fact that Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter is made with Agave. Since I'm sensitive to sugar agave is perfect.

For this review I made a recipe including the Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter.  There were so many possibilities that I played around and chose the one recipe that my family loved the most.

The winner was.....

Apple Butter Dump Cake


This is a very easy recipe.  I based it on a recipe that I have made a hundred times, Pumpkin Dump Cake.  I wanted to create a dessert that those who don't like pumpkin could enjoy this time of the year.  My family absolutely loved it.

All you need is:

  • 6 oz Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups butter

Preheat your oven to 350.  In a large bowl mix everything but the last 2 ingredients.  Once completely mixed pour the liquid into a 13x9  glass pan.  Open the cake mix and pour the dry mix evenly on top of the Department of Sweet Diversions Apple Butter mixture.  Top with cut up butter slices spread out evenly.  

Bake for 45-55 minutes depending on your oven.  Your cake is done when the top is golden brown and the middle is set.

You can serve warm or cold.  I would suggest topping with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Don't forget to check out Department of Sweet Diversions and get the cook and apple butter lover the perfect gift for under the tree! Check out all the amazing flavors of jams while you are there!

  1. My mom makes apple butter every year and it is so good. It's not made with agave though. I'm all about lowering sugar when I can. I'm at risk for diabetes. Recipe looks really fantastic!

    1. I understand the risk, so am I. I was gestational diabetic in both pregnancies and the likelihood of Type 2 are very high for me if I'm not living as healthy as I can. This product is very good and the Agave gives it the perfect sweetness. Now the recipe is not good for sugars :).
