- In a medium bowl, beat eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, sour cream, and cloves. Pour into the dry ingredients bowl and whisk until smooth.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, boil butter, water, and apple butter to a light boil. Add this mixture to the flour batter and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
