For over 100 years, Wellesley Apple Brand Products has been using a variety of Ontario grown, fresh quality apples to make their pure Apple Butter and Sweet Apple C***rs.

The Apple Butter spread came from an old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. It tastes great on toast, on sausage, on schnitzel, on hamburgers and in many baking recipes. The sweet Apple C***r has the refreshing crisp taste of biting into a fresh apple. Wellesley Apple Brand Products blends up to five different varieties of fresh apples to achieve their distinct quality taste, without the use of added sugar or sweeteners.

Join us at the Wellesley Apple Butter & Cheese Festival on Saturday September 26th. Our food booths will be featuring Wellesley Apple Butter and Wellesley Apple C***r. You will also be able to purchase, Wellesley Apple Syrup, Wellesley Apple Sauce, and Wellesley Sparkling Apple C***r.
