Ingredients
- 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 big apples)
- 1/2 cup water (or apple juice)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine all the ingredients. Stir until well mixed. Cook on the stove on medium high heat until boiling. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until apples are soft.
- Mash apple mixture with a masher or blend with an immersion blender until it is as smooth or chunky as you like it.
- Let it sit and cool for 15 minutes to thicken even more. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
