Notes

I prefer coconut sugar because it's not considered refined. However, feel free to sweeten your apples with whatever sugar you have on hand.
Tapioca or arrowroot powder can substitute cornstarch.
For a sharper flavor, use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar.
You can add more warm spices such as nutmeg, clove, cardamom, or even a tiny bit of black pepper.
