Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium, tart variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the cinnamon powder and salt over the apples, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring gently, until the apples are tender and fully coated with the cinnamon-maple mixture.
Remove from heat and allow the cinnamon apples to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious vegan dessert or snack. These cinnamon apples can also be used as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or vegan ice cream.
