Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium apples Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by peeling and dicing the apples into small, uniform cubes. This ensures even cooking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.
Add the diced apples to the skillet, stirring them to coat evenly with the melted coconut oil.
Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples, stirring to combine well.
Cook the apples for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and release their juices.
Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the skillet, stirring to incorporate into the apple mixture.
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the liquid to slightly thicken and coat the apples.
Once the apples are soft and aromatic, remove the skillet from heat.
Let the apple filling cool slightly before using as a filling or topping for your favorite Whole30 desserts.
