How to Prepare Maple Tempeh Sandwich With Caramelized Apples and Onions [Vegan]

In a large, wide pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Sauté the onions until they begin to soften and become translucent, around 10-12 minutes.
Add the apples and stir to prevent them from sticking to the pan. Add a few tablespoons of water or oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
Cook until the apples are tender and the onions are caramelized. They should be golden brown.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Dip each of the slices into the marinade to evenly coat, and leave the slices in the marinade for at least five minutes.
Heat up a pan on medium-low heat. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil and sear the tempeh until each side is browned.
Place the slices of bread in your toaster and remove the tempeh from the heat.
Spread two slices of bread with the cashew cheese. Place the tempeh on the cashew cheese and top with the caramelized onions and apples and the other slice of bread.
