• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Immediately toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent browning.

Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apples and toss until the apples are well coated.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.

Step 6

In a small cup, mix arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.

Step 7

Pour the slurry over the apple mixture and gently fold everything together until combined.

Step 8

Transfer the apple mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using as a filling or topping.

Step 11

The filling can be served warm or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
