A jar of Raspberry jam

Combine everything except the jam together in a mixing bowl, very quickly. Spoon out large dollops on a small buttered baking pan, dent the center with a Bisquicked thumb, and carefully place a small teaspoon of Raspberry jam in each dent. You have enough to repeat this a couple of times.

Change jam to apple butter. Roll out dough into 6 inch squares and fill center the apple butter; fold over and pinch edge shut. Then fry in skillet with butter.

Thanks! I did a little something similar when I was a kid, it involved apples, butter, but not apple butter.
I had a terrible time with Apple Fritters, they just didn't work. The sliced Apples weren't cooked, and the batter kept falling off. Here's the trick:
Take the same basic recipe, but add enough extra milk to make a really thick, but still slightly sticky batter.
Heat a large skillet with a stick of butter until it's just this side of smoking. Fry the Apple slices until they are just beginning to shrink, set them to one side to cool slightly until all the slices are done.
_Then_ dip the apples in the batter and fry in the flavoured butter until golden brown, and then pile the fritters on a sugared plate.
We always had apple butter around, but I never thought of incorporating it into the recipe...
