Caramelized Apples and Caramel Drizzle

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (organic)
• 1 large granny smith apple, peeled, 1/2 " dice
• 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar, or brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, (organic)
• 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar, or brown sugar
• ¼ cup heavy cream, (organic)

Instructions

1. Add 2 T. butter to a large skillet over moderate heat. When melted add the apples. Cook, stirring until the apples have softened, 2 minutes. Add 2 T. coconut palm sugar, stir to dissolve. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring until the apples have started to turn a dark amber color, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the caramelized apple pieces with a slotted spoon, leaving and caramel in the pan. Add the 1 T. butter and 2 T. sugar to the pan, stir to dissolve. Add the heavy cream and stir up with a whisk to make caramel. When thickened, about 2 minutes, remove from heat and carefully pour into a heatproof bowl.
3. Top slices of cake with the caramel apples and caramel sauce. If the caramel thickens too much when it stands, just heat it a bit.
