Ingredients
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling and coring the Granny Smith apples. Then, dice the apples into small, even-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch in size.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
Step 3
Add the diced apples to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger over the apples and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring well to coat the apples with the spices.
Step 5
Pour in the lemon juice and water, stirring the mixture. This will help to deglaze the pan and add some moisture.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and allow the apples to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft but not mushy.
Step 7
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Let the topping cool slightly before serving it warm over your favorite Whole30 pancakes or other compliant dishes.
