Course Dessert
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Tablespoons butter 1 stick
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • large sprinkling of mineral salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg plus more to garnish
  • 1 cup red-skinned apples diced small
  • 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 5 cups puffed sprouted brown rice cereal
  • Flaky salt to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Begin by lining an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a portion of overhang. Spray with coconut oil spray.
  • In a heavy-bottomed dutch oven, add the butter over medium heat and let it begin bubbling and turning light brown, 2-3 minutes. Stir in maple and spices, let bubble and simmer another 1-2 minutes. Stir in apples and saute for 2-3 minutes until apples just begin to soften. Turn heat to low.
  • Stir in marshmallows over low heat until they are melted. Take off the heat and stir in vanilla and brown rice cereal. Mix well with a spatula until well combined.
  • Transfer rice krispie mixture to the prepared pan, pressing mixture down firmly and smoothing top evenly. Sprinkle liberally with nutmeg all across top then chill at least 30 minutes to firm up. Cut into 12 large squares or 24 mini squares and serve. Enjoy!
