Ingredients

2 apples, cubed
1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
pinch salt
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp maple syrup

Method

1. To a small saucepan, melt coconut oil over medium heat.
2. Add in cinnamon and nutmeg and stir to coat in oil.
3. Add cubed apples and stir to coat apples in spiced oil.
4. Add water and maple syrup and stir to combine.
5. Turn heat to medium high, put a lid on the saucepan, and allow to come to a bubble.
6. Remove lid and cook for 5-10 minutes (depending on how soft you like your apples/what type of apples you use), stirring occasionally.
7. Remove apples from saucepan with a slotted spoon, leaving the sweet sauce in the pan.
8. Reduce sauce to desired thickness, then add back to the apples.

Notes:

1. Choose whichever apples are your favourite for the best flavour. You can leave the peels on or peel them off depending on your preference.
2. You can substitute coconut oil out for vegan butter for a different flavour.
3. Use apples as a topping for pancakes, waffles, buckwheat crêpes, toast, nice cream, yogurt parfaits, and oatmeal. Pictured are paleo waffles (made using the Birch Benders mix I got from Costco) topped with the spiced apples and my raw almond butter.
