Notes

You may peel the apples or leave them unpeeled. Peel them when preparing the recipe for babies without teeth.

Honeycrisp and Pink Lady apples work especially well. Gala, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jazz, and other varieties also work.

Coconut oil or ghee can replace the butter.

Honey, granulated sugar, or brown sugar can replace the maple syrup.

Apple juice or apple cider can replace the water for additional apple flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freezing is not recommended because fresh apples do not freeze well.

You can double or triple the recipe.

Serve the apples alone or with oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, French toast, baked oatmeal, or vanilla ice cream.
