Ingredients

  • 5-6 small apples, cored
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  • Core the apples (I'm lazy and don't bother to peel them as it will all get blended up in the end, but you can if you like).
  • In a medium saucepan add all the ingredients with the apples and cover. Cook on medium low heat for about 15-20 minutes till the apples have broken down.
  • Using an immersion blender or blender, blend the apple mixture till smooth.
  • Allow to cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
