Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground ginger, and salt to the apples and mix well to ensure the slices are evenly coated.
Melt coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop and add it to the apple mixture along with the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Pour the water into the baking dish around the apple slices to help them steam.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are just starting to caramelize.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
