Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small, even-sized cubes.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it melts.
Add the chopped apples to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apples and stir to coat them evenly.
Add the maple syrup and lemon juice, then stir well to combine the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the topping to cool slightly before serving over your favorite vegan dishes.
