Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Course Dessert
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 apples (about 3 cups, chopped)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp salted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water.
  • Scrub apples with a clean vegetable brush under running water.
  • Cut apples into same-sized pieces (about ½-1”cubes).
  • Put apples pieces into a skillet with 2 tablespoons 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 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir apples and butter 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.
