Experiment to try, from https://kirbiecravings.com/4-ingredient-apple-pie-oatmeal-cookies/ (but the cookie part was less interesting to me) 2 Tbsp maple syrup 1 cup finely chopped peeled apples, cut into 1/8 to 1/4 inch pieces Add chopped apples and 2 tablespoons maple syrup to a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring often so that the maple syrup or apples do not burn or get stuck to the pan. You want to cook until the apples release their juices and most of the juices evaporate. At first the mixture will only be a little wet from the syrup, then it will get more watery when the apples release their juices and then the mixture will get more dry again as the liquid is cooked off. You want to cook until most of the liquid is cooked off, about 5 minutes cooking time. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool and thicken. Then put in thumbprint cookies or something like that, or use as a topping for ice cream maybe?
