Why do baked apple recipes usually call for butter? The apples don't taste buttery so what does the butter do!

Question: Not only does butter add a distinct flavor, it is a browning agent. so if you want a nice golden brown on your crust, butter. Inside of a pie, it adds richnest and a velvity smoothnest that nothing else can mimic. Apple pie consist mainly of apples, flour, spices and then butter. It helps to bind all of the flavors and make it rich.
