Equipment

  • Nonstick frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups apples
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cloves
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Peel, core, and slice the apples to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Add the coconut oil to a large nonstick pan on the stove set to low-medium heat.
  • Add the apples, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt to the pan.
  • Sautee the apples until they are soft and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally (this should take approximately 20 minutes).

Notes

  • Store these sauteed cinnamon apples in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
  • Use a sweet variety of apple such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Golden Delicious or add one tablespoon of maple syrup toward the end of the cooking process if the apples you are using are tart (such as Granny Smith).
