    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
    • â…“ cup maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt
    • 5 medium apples tart & sweet, sliced peeled or unpeeled

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2 ½ quart or similar sized baking dish with cooking spray or grease with vegan butter.

    • Add the sliced apples to the bowl. Stir to coat. Transfer apples and remaining liquid into prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until apples are tender.
