8 servings
- 3 medium apples (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch dice
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteTrue ceylon cinnamon is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the diced apples, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the apples, then bring to a gentle simmer.
- 2
Stir in the ground ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft and the liquid has reduced to a thick, jammy consistency that coats the back of a spoon, about 25–30 minutes. Watch the pan in the final 5 minutes — the syrup can scorch quickly once most of the liquid has evaporated.
