Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ghee, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the apples.
Cover the baking dish with a piece of aluminum foil, making sure it's sealed tightly around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes until the apples are tender and the pecans are lightly toasted.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Cinnamon Apples warm, perhaps with a dollop of coconut cream or a scoop of your favorite Paleo-friendly ice cream if desired.
