Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

Hands down, the best!!! I fool all my non-Wheat Belly family with this recipe! From this recipe I have made Faux applesauce, fried apple turnovers, apple pie, apple crumble, apple coffee cake. I have several batches in the freezer for when I get the urge. It's great to use all the organic zucchini that I've been blessed with this year.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
3 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup peeled zucchini, seeds removed and cut into coins and then crescent
sweetener to taste (I use stevia about 14 drops)
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
Pinch of chipotle pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon apple extract, if you don't have use extra raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Melt the butter into the bacon drippings.

Add the zucchini and saute until it is crisp tender, and a little browned. This helps keep the "apple" crunch.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until liquid is reduced and nearly gone.

Stir very often.

Taste and adjust sweetness/seasoning.
