Ingredients
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel and core the Granny Smith apple, then dice it into small, evenly-sized cubes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apple to the saucepan and stir to coat the pieces evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples, followed by the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, and stir well to combine.
Pour the lemon juice into the apple mixture and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender and fragrant.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the sautéed apples, stirring well to ensure everything is incorporated.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened and glossy.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving over your favorite keto-friendly dish.
