Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Fuji or Granny-Smith) peeled, cored and sliced.
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- ¼ cup organic coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder (to taste)
- ⅛ tsp Ground Nutmeg (to taste)
- ¼ tsp Himalayan salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Toss your peeled, cored and sliced apples in the lemon juice.
- Melt the butter in a skillet and once melted add the apples. Cook for a minute.
- Add the coconut sugar to the butter-coated apples and allow the sugar to cook on low heat until it has thickened into a syrup that coats the apple pieces and the apple pieces begin to soften. (approx 8-9 minutes)
- Add in the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and salt) and toss to coat them.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- A shortcut method of thickening the sauce is to add in a small amount of slurry made from either tapioca flour or potato starch with some water. You can also use a small amount of whole wheat pastry flour if you prefer just be sure to cook the sauce for a few more minutes to cook the flavor of the raw flour out of the sauce.
