Quick and Easy Warm Maple-Cinnamon Apple Slices
       

Warm maple-cinnamon apple slices are a comforting, sweet, and simple treat that can be made in minutes. This delicious dish works perfectly as a light dessert, a topping for pancakes or oatmeal, or even as a snack on chilly fall days.

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji work best)
  • 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or butter for a richer flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, walnuts, or a dollop of vanilla yogurt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

  • Wash, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges (about ¼ inch thick).
  • Drizzle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning while you prepare the pan.

Step 2: Sauté the Apples

  • In a medium-sized skillet, heat the coconut oil (or butter) over medium heat.
  • Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften and lightly brown.

Step 3: Add the Maple-Cinnamon Mixture

  • Lower the heat slightly and pour the maple syrup over the apples.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and sea salt over the top.
  • Stir the apples to coat them evenly in the maple-cinnamon mixture.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender and the sauce is slightly thickened.

Step 4: Serve Warm

  • Remove the skillet from heat and serve the warm apple slices immediately.
  • For added texture, sprinkle with chopped nuts or a scoop of vanilla yogurt if desired.

Tips

  • For crunchier apples: Cook the slices for less time to maintain a firmer bite.
  • For extra sweetness: Add a drizzle of honey along with the maple syrup for an even sweeter finish.
  • Serve over: Pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or even vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent treat.
