Add the apples, 1/4 cup of water, apple cider vinegar and cinnamon to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender, about 10-15 minutes (timing will depend on the type of apple you use and how big the pieces are).

Meanwhile, add the arrowroot and 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl and stir to combine. Once apples are tender, add to the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid thickens. Enjoy!

I prefer using honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but Granny Smith, Fuji, Pink Lady or other firm varieties would work well!

I don’t find it necessary to add any sugar, but if you’re looking to make them sweeter, feel free to add some maple syrup
