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.
