Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples Granny Smith apples
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by peeling and coring the Granny Smith apples. Once peeled, slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter covers the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle monk fruit sweetener and ground cinnamon over the apples. Stir the mixture gently to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender and the sweetener has melted, creating a syrupy glaze.
Add the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice, stirring to incorporate them into the mixture.
Season with salt and give a final stir to distribute flavors evenly.
Once the apples are fully cooked and tender, remove them from the heat.
Serve warm as a side dish or over keto-friendly pancakes or waffles for a special breakfast treat.
