- 1 teaspoon molasses, optional
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 sweet apples (810 grams), unpeeled, cored and sliced
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
In a large pan over medium heat, mix together the first four ingredients (coconut oil through cinnamon)
Once the oil is melted, add the apples and mix to cover the apples thoroughly in the liquid mixture
Cover and simmer the apples for 7 – 15 minutes or until the apples are soft enough for your liking
Add in the vanilla and stir
Remove the apples from the heat and let them sit for 10 minutes and then serve
The liquid will gel a little as it cools and can also be served at room temperature
