A cozy caramel apple filling that is not too sweet and simple to make, refined sugar free and paleo/vegan friendly. This recipe uses diced apples mixed with a rich caramel sauce made from coconut milk, coconut sugar, and spices.
1: To make the caramel sauce, combine coconut milk and coconut sugar in a pot on the stove. Heat on medium to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
2: While the caramel is simmering, sauté the diced apples over medium in oil and 2 tsp cinnamon. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
3: Once caramel sauce has thickened enough to stick to the back of a spoon and darkened, stir in vanilla and butter and combine with apples and remove from heat.
