Ingredients

  • 4 cups (500 grams) chopped apples
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Chop apples into 1/2 inch cubes. You can cut them bigger if you'd like, but I like a smaller chop. What's most important is that they are fairly equal in size.

  • Add the apples and 3 tablespoons of water into a 12-inch skillet. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes.

  • Remove the lid and cook for another 3 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated and the apples have softened.
