These sauteed apples are lightly sweetened with maple syrup and are quick and easy to prepare! They’re also gluten-free, vegan, paleo and dairy-free.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) refined coconut oil see notes; or butter for a non-vegan version
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon molasses optional
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 sweet apples unpeeled, cored and sliced into 1/4" slices - mine were 810 grams total
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large pan over medium heat, mix together the first four ingredients (coconut oil through cinnamon).
    2 tablespoons (28 grams) refined coconut oil, 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon molasses, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Once the oil is melted, add the apples and mix to cover the apples thoroughly in the liquid mixture.
    4 sweet apples
  • 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.
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 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. Can also be served at room temperature.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • I used refined coconut oil, which has no coconut oil taste. If you use unrefined coconut oil (which does have a coconut taste), these sauteed apples might have a slight coconut taste to them.
