Caramelized Apples

     


     When I think of fall I think apples. I made these caramelized apples a while ago and folded them into a muffin batter to make apple and cinnamon muffins. While I am still working on the muffin recipe I though the apples were great. They'd be wonderful spooned over soy or coconut milk ice cream or perfect on their own. Use whatever apples you like best. I used a mixture of granny smith and fuji. The sweetness of these apples comes from agave nectar, making this recipe free of refined sugars.
