Equipment

  • Medium Pot with lid
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
 

  • 3 Pink Lady apples (or any other red apple sort)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp date syrup (silan) (or maple syrup)

Instructions
 

  • Chop the apples – Cut into small-to-medium cubes (about 1 cm thick).
  • Combine in pot – Add apples, lemon juice, water, cinnamon, and date syrup. Cover with a lid.
  • Cook gently – Heat on medium, uncover and stir every 2 minutes. If it boils too strongly, lower the heat.
  • Finish cooking – After ~15 minutes, the apples should be golden brown and tender. Move off heat and keep covered for 1 extra minute.
  • Serve or store – Enjoy warm, or transfer to a container for later (I eat it both cold and warm).
