Rice Free Cinnamon Stewed Apples
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, these cinnamon stewed apples are the kind of simple dish that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible. Sliced apples are gently simmered in butter, pure maple syrup, and Ceylon cinnamon until they turn perfectly tender and coated in a light, glossy syrup. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here — it's softer and more floral than the common cassia variety, and it lets the natural sweetness of the apples really shine through. A touch of vanilla powder and a pinch of salt round everything out in the most satisfying way. This is naturally grain-free and completely free of rice or rice-derived ingredients, so there's no label-reading required — just wholesome, straightforward pantry staples. Serve them warm over yogurt, alongside pork chops, or simply on their own as a cozy dessert. They keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, which means you can make a batch ahead and enjoy them all week long.
