RECIPE - Maple Coconut Apple Butter



Ingredients:
6 large Apples, 1/4 inch slices (Honey Crisp and Pink Lady are my favorites)
1/2 cup Coconut Oil
1/4 cup pure Maple Syrup (Preferably Grade B)
1/4 teaspoon fine Sea Salt
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack in the middle. 
Prepare 2 sheet pans with parchment or Silpat liners. 

Put the sliced apples in a heat safe bowl. 

Combine maple syrup, coconut oil, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan. 
Bring to a boil, stir quickly to combine and remove from the heat promptly. 
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the apples and toss with tongs. 

Divide apples onto the two baking sheets in a single layer.
Bake about 20-25 minutes tossing once with tongs. 
Apples should be soft, fragrant and slightly browned when done. 
Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes. 

Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until creamy and smooth. 
Thin out with water if needed.
