Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 large or 3 medium apples, thinly sliced
- 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (+ more to taste)
Instructions
- Apples. Add the sliced apples to a bowl and toss in lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
- Preheat. Heat coconut oil in a sauté pan over medium heat until melted and hot (should move quickly across the pan when you tilt it).
- Sauté apples. Add the apple-cinnamon mixture to the pan and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened and warm, stirring occasionally to get all sides of the apples exposed to the heat. Once done, remove from heat and serve warm, or transfer to a container to enjoy later.
Notes
- Serving suggestions: These sautéed apples are delicious served warm over pancakes, French toast, warm oatmeal, and as a dessert topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. They are also delicious served chilled in yogurt parfaits, on vanilla ice cream, or in overnight oats.
- Apples: You can use your favorite kind of apple! For the best flavor, I recommend sweet-tart varieties, such as Honeycrisp, Jazz, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith (more on the tart side).
