This quick recipe is a charming weeknight alternative to apple pie. It makes a wonderful filling for a fruit crisp, or use it to top a whole-grain cake or muffin. Sauteéd apple slices also make a delightful autumn breakfast!
1 apple, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon safflower or sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch sea salt
Combine the apple slices with the lemon juice and maple syrup. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices along with any extra liquid, cinnamon, and sea salt. Sauté until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
