2 kg baking apples
Juice and zest of half a lemon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Peel and core the apples, then slice into ½ cm pieces. Add straight to a large saucepan with lemon juice and zest.
Add the sugars, flour, salt, spices, and vanilla. Stir gently until coated. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove once golden brown and serve with plant-based vanilla ice cream!
