Hey can I make anything out of apple butter?

The nice Realtor in the neighborhood always drops off a jar of locally made applebutter. I'm not interested in selling my house but I would like to do something with this, it's really quite good just on toast..

I LOVE apple butter and would just spread it on toast, since I don't get it often and wouldn't want to "waste" it by mixing something into it. Maybe you can use 1/2 and use the other 1/2 for toast!
