Ingredients
• 4 large firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg or apple pie spice
• Pinch of sea salt
• 2 tbsp light butter or coconut oil
• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt for creamy finish
• Optional: 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
• Core and slice apples into even ¼-inch wedges for uniform cooking and tender results.
• In a large skillet, melt butter or coconut oil over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden.
• Add apple slices in a single layer; cook 3-4 minutes per side until they begin to soften and caramelize.
• Stir in maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; toss gently to coat apples evenly.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
• Remove from heat; gently fold in Greek yogurt for a creamy, protein-rich finish that balances the sweet-spiced glaze.
• Serve warm as a side to pork or chicken, over oatmeal, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a wholesome dessert!
