Ingredients
1 medium Honeycrisp or Fuji apple
2 tbsp lemon juice
2–4 tbsp coconut sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare the apples by chopping them into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for extra texture or peeling them for smoothness.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat to ensure even rendering.
Add the chopped apples in a single, even layer to the hot skillet.
Pour the lemon juice over the apples and stir well to coat every piece evenly.
Sprinkle the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon uniformly over the apples.
Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently every minute to ensure the sugar creates a thick, sticky glaze without burning.
Notes
Ensure you use a firm apple variety to prevent the fruit from turning into applesauce during cooking. Keep the heat strictly at medium to ensure the sugar caramelizes into a syrup rather than burning. If the mixture seems too dry, a splash of water can be added.
