Soft cinnamon apples in a rice cooker

A versatile sweet tarty soft apple dessert that marries tarty and sweet together oh so well

Cinnamon Apples

This is one of those ‘use it as you want it’ kind of recipes. The kind where you can put the soft spiced apples as an accompaniment with oats, granola, pancakes or simple ice cream. Apples and cinnamon are a winning combination and with the tarty comes the counterbalance of the sweet honey. To add some warmth we introduce nutmeg and cinnamon to add some woody and dry spiced tones to the sweetness.

Walnuts add an interesting crunch to the soft mix along with a good protein hit but be careful of serving to anyone with nut allergies.
