Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add diced apples and lemon juice. Stir to coat the apples evenly with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, water, and honey (or maple syrup) to the saucepan with the apples.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Once it starts to simmer, cover the pan and let it cook for 8-10 minutes or until the apples are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to make a slurry.
Step 7
Once the apples are tender, remove the lid and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the topping cool slightly before using.
Step 9
Serve the low-fat cinnamon and apple topping over your favorite breakfast items or desserts for an added touch of flavor.
