About the maker
Meet McCutcheon's Apple Products.
McCutcheon’s Apple Products is a family-owned business based in Frederick, Maryland, with roots tracing back to 1938 when William O. McCutcheon retired from the Colt & Dixon Canning Co., bought a used apple press, and began custom pressing local apples into apple butter with his son and daughter-in-law. The brand grew from that downtown Frederick Apple Press into producing Apple Cider and Apple Butter under its own label and, over time, a broader lineup of homestyle preserves, jams, and jellies. It has remained in the family for four generations, expanding to a modern facility and a factory store on the original site, with plans for ongoing product additions as part of its growth. Manufacturing is anchored in Frederick, with the company building and operating its own facility on the original site and continuing to produce a range of products in-house, including Apple Cider, Apple Butter, preserves, relishes, and other fruit spreads. This on-site production and the retail/wholesale framework underscore McCutcheon’s commitment to American-made, homestyle flavors crafted from quality ingredients at their Maryland location.
