Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Granny Smith apples
- 0.5 cups coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel and core the Granny Smith apples. Cut them into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apples and stir until the apple slices are evenly coated.
In a small cup, combine the cornstarch and water, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Pour the cornstarch mixture over the apples and gently mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the apple mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and place over medium heat.
Cook the apples, stirring continuously, for about 10-15 minutes or until they are tender and the mixture thickens. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the apple filling to cool slightly before using in your favorite vegan pie, tart, or pastry recipe.
