Ingredients
- 2 large apples peeled and sliced*
- ½ cup apple cider apple juice, or water
- 2 to 6 Tbsp pure maple syrup to taste
- 1 to 3 tsp ground cinnamon to taste
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour cornstarch or gluten-free all-purpose flour**
Instructions
- Peel, core, and chop the apple into slices, and add the apple slices to a small saucepan. Add in the apple cider, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon and sea salt and stir well. Cover the saucepan with a lid, and bring the mixture to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low heat or medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften, but are still al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 to 5 minutes, until the sauce surrounding the apples has thickened to your personal taste.
- Use stewed apples for topping pancakes, ice cream, creamy oatmeal, cake, waffles, chia pudding, etc., and enjoy!
Notes
*I recommend sweet apples that remain firm during the cooking process, such as honey crisp apples, envy apples, and Fuji apples. Tart apples such as granny smith apples (green apples) work great too, but you may consider adding a couple tablespoons of brown sugar to offset the sour flavor.
**You can also use tapioca flour or arrowroot flour for a grain-free option.
