Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium, peeled and diced Apples
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel and dice the apples, ensuring the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.
Add the diced apples to the skillet, and stir to coat them evenly with the coconut oil.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt over the apples.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally for about 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are tender and beginning to caramelize.
Once the apples are tender, reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or desserts.
