🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 large crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), diced
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 6 plain rice cakes
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts

1. In a medium-sized skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.

2. Add the diced apples to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

3. Sprinkle the cinnamon powder and sea salt over the apples and stir to ensure even coating.

4. Add the maple syrup and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized.

5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts.

6. Allow the apple mixture to cool slightly before spooning evenly over the rice cakes.

7. Serve immediately for a crunchy, aromatic snack, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, reheating slightly before serving to maintain crunchiness.
