Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Large Apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/4 inch cubes
- 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1 Tbsp Vegan Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the apple: Peel and core the apple, then chop it into 1/4 inch cubes to ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
- Combine ingredients in skillet: Place the chopped apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into a 10-inch stainless steel skillet, mixing them gently.
- Cook the apples: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally as the maple syrup thickens and the apples soften but remain slightly firm, usually about 4-5 minutes.
- Finish with vegan butter: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vegan butter until melted and well combined, giving the caramelized apples a rich and creamy finish.
- Serve warm: Enjoy the caramelized apples immediately as a delicious topping for pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream.
Notes
- Choose a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture during cooking.
- The maple syrup serves both as a sweetener and a caramelizing agent, so adjust quantity to taste.
- Use vegan butter to keep the recipe plant-based and suitable for vegans.
- This dish is best served fresh but can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
