Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large Large Apple Choose a crisp variety like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup Adds richness and elevates the apples.
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon Enhances the sweet notes of caramelization.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances the sweetness.
  • 1 Tbsp Vegan Butter Creates a creamy finish for a plant-based option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and core the apple, then chop it into 1/4 inch cubes.
Cooking
  1. In a 10-inch stainless steel skillet, add the chopped apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well-coated.
  2. Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the maple syrup thickens and the apples soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vegan butter until fully melted and combined. Serve warm.

Notes

Use a variety like Fuji or Braeburn for optimal texture. Adjust maple syrup for sweetness as desired. Experiment with nutmeg or allspice for added warmth.
