Ingredients
4 Cups Diced Apples (peeled and 1/2 inch cubes)
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1/3 C + 2 Tbs Apple Cider
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tbs Maple Syrup
1 Tbs Brown Sugar
3/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
3 tsp Corn Starch
Instructions
Combine peeled diced apples, lemon juice, 1/3 cup apple cider, vanilla, maple syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan.
Stir ingredients to ensure spices are evenly distributed.
Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until apples are fork-tender.
Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of apple cider and cornstarch together to create a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the saucepan while the mixture is bubbling.
Stir continuously for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Remove from heat and serve warm.
