Foodie Friday: Warm Cinnamon Apples

Happy Foodie Friday everyone! Want a healthy sweet treat that isn’t going to load you full of a bunch of added sugar?

Fall is my favorite time to start adding cinnamon to absolutely everything and the combo of apples and cinnamon gives me flashbacks to having a delicious apple pie!

This recipe is so easy and can be done in under 20 minutes. I use this as a dessert alternative, easy snack, and even a side to a balanced meal! Chopping the apples into small chunks and adding them to the top of a warm bowl of protein oatmeal is my favorite fall breakfast!

Ingredients: 12 servings
• 4 pounds apples cored and sliced (not too thin, or they will break up! - I like to cut each apple into 8 wedges)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener OR honey
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2-3 teaspoons arrowroot OR organic cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions:
1. Place the apples and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss until butter has melted and is coating the apples.
2. Mix apple juice, sweetener, cinnamon, allspice and salt and pour over the apples. Toss. Cover with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for around 5 minutes.
3. Uncover and toss. Either simmer until thickened, or add arrowroot/cornstarch and toss quickly.
4. Stir in apple cider vinegar and serve hot.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Rey has been here since early June & has never missed a session! He's on-point with his tracking for nutrition and always does his cardio. He has hit every goal since he started and has lost 49.6 lbs of body fat mass and gained 3.8 lbs of skeletal muscle mass. Down from 48.9% BF to 36.6% BF. The health of his knees has improved drastically and he continues to have an exceptionally positive attitude!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
