Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples to the pan and stir to coat them in the coconut oil.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
In a small bowl, mix the water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice together. Pour this mixture over the spiced apples.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow the apples to cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender and soft.
About 5 minutes before the apples finish cooking, stir in the maple syrup, ensuring it is well-mixed.
Once the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, remove from heat.
Serve the stewed apples warm as they are, or use them as a topping for paleo pancakes or porridge.
