Spiced Apple Topping for Pancakes

Autumn-spiced apples to serve on top of pancakes, oatmeal, waffles, or as-is. Top with ice cream for a real treat or Greek yogurt for a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch salt
• cooking spray
• 3 large apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.25 cup almond milk
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a small bowl.
2. Grease a pie pan or 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Place apple slices in the prepared pan and sprinkle with flour mixture. Drizzle milk, maple syrup, and vanilla over top; toss to coat.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender (not mushy), 25 to 30 minutes.
