Ingredients
- 4 large Apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced apples to the pan and stir to coat them in the coconut oil.
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice together. Pour this mixture over the spiced apples.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow the apples to cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender and soft.
Step 7
About 5 minutes before the apples finish cooking, stir in the maple syrup, ensuring it is well-mixed.
Step 8
Once the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, remove from heat.
Step 9
Serve the stewed apples warm as they are, or use them as a topping for paleo pancakes or porridge.
