Pull the apple butter from your fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.
Slice off the ends of the brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise. Peel off any brown outer pieces. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and place in the brussels sprouts face down. Cook over medium heat until the bottom starts to turn golden brown. Sprinkle with salt. Turn the sprouts over onto their back side and add in the TBSP of butter.
Give the pan a stir and continue to cook on medium to medium-low heat until the sprouts are just tender through. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
Spread the apple butter across the side of your plating dish. Add in the brussels sprouts and garnish with the fried shallots.
