Carmel apple sauce

I love fall weather. I grew up in San Diego so we never had the four seasons like Utah has. It's so great with the beautiful leaves how they change colors and then in a flash the wind takes everything away and brings the cold winter chill.

First snow today so I though I need to make Carmel apples. But not just any Carmel apples, the kind I could feed my kids without feeling guilty that I loaded them up with sugar. My Carmel sauce isn't normal but it's very tasty and my 6 year old couldn't get enough.

It's not exactly paleo you could make it paleo using coconut yogurt or almond yogurt. I used full fat plain Greek yogurt. I love coconut sugar it reminds me of brown sugar but it's great for people because it doesn't spike your blood pressure. It's one of the lower glycemic sugars. I would really like to try date sugar and compare the two. If you have tried it let me know!

Carmel sauce

2 single serving size plain yogurt
3/4 c coconut sugar
1 tbs raw honey ( agave or maple syrup)
Dash of Himalayan salt
3tsp vanilla
*dash of cinnamon
* 1 Tbs organic butter
*optional but recommended

In a saucepan combined *butter, coconut sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Mix with a wisk until it melts and bubbles. After turn down the heat from medium to low and add yogurt and vanilla. Mix until incorporated. Poor into a bowl or a canning jar. Store in fridge overnight to thicken. Or if you are like me a couple hours until I can't wait anymore :-) slice up your favorite organic apple and dip in!!
