Prep Tìme : 5 mìnutes

Cook Time : 15 mìnutes

Total Tìme : 20 mìnutes

Yìeld : 4 serving

Ingredients

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 3 apples about 3 cups, chopped*
• 2 TBS water
• 1 TBS coconut oil**
• 1 TBS maple syrup***
• ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions 

1. Cut apples into same-sized pieces (about ½-1” cubes).
2. Put apples pieces into a skillet with 2 TBS water. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become slightly soft and water is absorbed.
3. Add 1 TBS of coconut oil to the skillet. Stir apples and oil together until all the apples are coated. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the apples become soft (you may need to cover them for the last 2 minutes).
4. Add Maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Stir until well mixed.
5. Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring every minute until the apples reach your desired softness!
6. Remove from heat and serve!

Notes

• You can choose whether or not you peel your apples (if I'm feeding them to a baby without teeth I always peel them)!

Ingredient Substitutions 

• Butter can be substituted for coconut oil.
• Any sweetener you'd like can be substituted for the maple syrup. I have used honey and granulated sugar with excellent results.
