Linda's spiced apple tahini breakfast

Linda Curtis of @holisticallyhappyyou makes this using apples from our farmers' market. This goes well with chia pudding, porridge or granola, then topped with a spoonful of yoghurt of your choice and chopped brazil nuts.

Method 

For the spice mix, combine all the ingredients and store in an airtight jar.

For the apples, heat the oil, spice and vanilla over medium heat. Let everything caramelise before adding the apple slices with a splash of water. Simmer for a few minutes with a lid on, until the apples have softened. 

Make the caramel sauce by adding all the ingredients to a blender and whizzing. Add a splash of water if you want it more runny.
