Ingredientes

A nourishing fall staple that’s perfect for topping yogurt, chia pudding, pancakes or just enjoy as is🥰

the cooking process makes the apples easier to digest and can help the body absorb nutrients more efficiently

cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and supports healthy blood sugar levels

Recipe:

2 large apples, cored and chopped (~3-4 cups)*

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp water

1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch sea salt

1 tsp arrowroot starch/flour (or cornstarch)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instruções

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
