Whenever it’s cold or wet outside, I have a go-to breakfast recipe that is super easy and requires very few ingredients. Stove top cooked apples are warm, flavorful, stimulating to your nose, and soothing for your digestion. The recipe below is highly variable so play with it! Add more of some spices, ignore others, and cook for as much time as it takes to get a texture you prefer.
Ingredients
- apples (pretty much any apple will work)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger root (or a 1/4 teaspoon for ginger powder if you don’t have the fresh root)
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of grated tumeric root (or a 1/4 teaspoon of powdered turmeric)
- a pinch of brown sugar
- water
Preparation
- Place a pot with a lid over medium low heat
- Chop up apples into roughly 1 inch pieces and add them to the pot
- put a 1/4 cup of water into the pot
- add your spices and sugar, stir to coat the apples
- cover and cook on medium-low or low heat until the apples are soft, perhaps 10 minutes
- when the apples seem right to you, they are done. If you have an excess of liquid in your pot you can keep cooking without the lid to reduce the liquid to more of a syrup
All done! I love these with a bit of peanut butter granola but they would be great over oat meal or just on their own.
