Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the apples thoroughly under cold water. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet or saucepan, add the water and lemon juice, then bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Once simmering, add the sliced apples to the pan. Stir occasionally, ensuring all apples are coated evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples, continuing to stir to distribute the spice evenly.
Step 5
Cover the skillet and allow the apples to cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but not mushy.
Step 6
After the apples have softened, remove the lid and stir in the vanilla extract, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Once the apples have reached the desired consistency and are coated with the cinnamon mixture, remove from heat.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, or allow to cool and serve as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal, or even enjoy them on their own as a guilt-free snack.
