Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor
Instructions:
Prepare the Apples:
Wash, core, and chop the apples into small pieces or thin slices. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber or peel them if you prefer.
Cook the Apples:
In a non-stick pan, lightly sauté the apple slices on medium heat until they become soft and slightly caramelized. You can also steam the apples if you prefer a softer texture.
Add Cocoa Powder:
Once the apples are soft, remove the pan from heat and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder over the apples. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly with cocoa.
Optional Flavor Boost:
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Serve Warm:
Enjoy the apples and cocoa mixture warm. This simple dish makes a great breakfast, snack, or dessert.
