Vegan Cinnamon Apples
Featured In WTFCF Season 4, Episode 05 Splenda Stevia Farms: A New American IndustryCinnamon Apples are good as a side, or used in morning oatmeal, overnight oats, or even as a pancake topping! They’re also great served with vegan vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 5 medium-sized apples, cored and sliced into ¼-inch wedges
- ½ water
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoon vegan buttery spread, divided
- 1 tablespoon Splenda® Stevia Sweetener Jar
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add cored and sliced apple wedges and ½ cup water. Cover and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until apples become slightly soft. Stir occasionally.
- Add to skillet, ⅛ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon vegan buttery spread. Stir so spread coats all of the apple chunks. Continue to cook until they get slightly browned and to your desired level of softness.
- Then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of the vegan spread, 1 tablespoon sweetener, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon cloves, and ½ teaspoon vanilla.
- Stir to coat the apples in all of the spices. Remove from heat.
Enjoy!
About the Author
You know the Splenda name well -- it's been one of the world's leading lines of sweeteners for years. But it's not just the stuff in the yellow packet -- there's also all-natural monk fruit and stevia. And you probably don't know about Splenda's and parent company Heartland Food Products Group's commitment to American farmers. The Splenda stevia farm in Lake Panasoffkee, FL featured in Season 4, Episode 5 of Where The Food Comes From is actually a "mother farm." The stevia grown there is not what you'll find in the packet. Instead, those plants are shipped to small U.S. family farms, who then plant and grow the actual crop that comes to your house!
