Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine maple syrup, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the apple slices to the saucepan, stirring gently to coat them in the maple mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the apples simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
Once the apples are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the lid and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or enjoy on their own.
