Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small cubes for even cooking.
In a medium saucepan, add the diced apples, water, and lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the apples to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft.
After 10 minutes, uncover the saucepan and stir in the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Increase the heat to medium and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the liquid reduces slightly and the apples are coated in a thick syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the topping cool slightly before serving.
Use this topping over pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, or desserts for a flavorful and healthy addition.
