Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 3 apples chopped apples (about 3 cups)
  • 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

  • Cut apples into same-sized pieces (about ½-1” cubes).
  • Put apple 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. Recommended apple varieties include honey crisp or pink lady. Butter can be substituted with coconut oil or ghee. Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or sugar alternatives.
