Soy Free Cinnamon Stewed Apples
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, these cinnamon stewed apples are the kind of simple recipe 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 glossy with a light, naturally sweet syrup. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here — it's softer and more floral than the standard cassia variety, and it really lets the apple flavor shine through. A touch of vanilla powder and a pinch of salt round everything out without adding any unnecessary complexity. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and completely free of soy in any form, so there's no label-reading stress or hidden additives to worry about. Serve them warm over oatmeal, alongside pork chops, spooned onto pancakes, or honestly just eaten straight from the pan — they're that good. They also keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, making them an easy make-ahead treat to have on hand all week.
