Equipment

  • saute pan
  • Measuring Spoons
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 3 apples (about 3 cups, chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 Tablespoon salted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cut apples into same-sized pieces (about ½-1” cubes).
  • Put apples pieces into a skillet with 2 TBS water. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become slightly soft and water is absorbed.
  • Add 1 TBS of butter to the skillet. Stir apples and oil together until all the apples are coated. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the apples become soft (you may need to cover them for the last 2 minutes).
  • Add Maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Stir until well mixed.
  • Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring every minute until the apples reach your desired softness.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

You can choose whether or not you peel your apples. Store leftovers in a glass container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
