Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions
Step 1
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add the diced apples, water, and lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning.
Step 3
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the apples to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft.
Step 5
After 10 minutes, uncover the saucepan and stir in the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the liquid reduces slightly and the apples are coated in a thick syrup.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the topping cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Use this topping over pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, or desserts for a flavorful and healthy addition.
