Ingredients

4 apples peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons maple syrup 45 g
2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil melted (30 g)
2 tablespoons lemon juice 30 mL
2 tablespoons cornstarch 15 g
1 tablespoon water 15 mL
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) degrees and set out an approximately 9 x 7 or 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
Peel (optional to peel), core, quarter and slices the apples into 1/8-inch slices.
Add the rest of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine into a smooth mixture. Add the sliced apples and mix well to coat.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the apples are tender (but not mushy), bubbly and golden-brown.
Stir to coat in the sauce then serve hot with non-dairy whipped cream or ice cream or over yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal or in crepes.

Notes

You can mix everything directly in the baking dish and save a bowl, if you prefer. It's just a little easier to mix it in a large mixing bowl.

Maple syrup can be swapped with agave syrup, brown sugar or coconut sugar.
