Notes
For a sugar-free version, the rapadura and maple syrup can be omitted. This will change the flavour profile of the dish, but it will still be delicious. Taste before serving and if needed add a touch more cinnamon and a little more salt.
Honey crisp, Gala or Fuji apples can replace the Pink Lady if they're not available in your area. You can also swap sweet apples for green apples/granny smith apples if you'd like your cooked apples to be a bit more tart.
Add in some berries for lots of extra flavour! Replace ½ a cup of the apples with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
