What goes in

• 3-4 apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter, or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/4 cup apple cider, not apple cider vinegar(you could also use water)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

How it comes together

1. Peel and slice the apples, making sure they are all about the same size thickness.
2. Use a wide skillet over a moderate burner, melt better (or coconut oil), add apples and spices, mixing them well. Sauté apples for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider (or water) and cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the slurry, vanilla and maple syrup to the apples and continue sautéing for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce has thickened and apples are soft, continually mixing so that the apples are completely coated in the sauce.
4. Serve the apples warm over top of waffles, pancakes or top with some ice cream! Enjoy!
