Add an outline to text

I have a UIButton and I would like to add a black outline to the text, so it is more legible against it's background. Is there a way to do this, either in the story board or code? Thanks in advance!

I believe this is your answer: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UILabel_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006797-CH3-SW1

Just to clarify - this should be applied to UIButton's label, not to the UIButton itself.
