Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Chayote squash
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the chayote squash and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes. Remove the core and seeds.
In a medium bowl, toss the chayote cubes with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a medium saucepan, add water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the butter to the saucepan and let it melt completely, stirring occasionally.
Once the butter has melted, add the chayote cubes to the saucepan.
Stir in ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix the ingredients well, ensuring that the chayote is evenly coated with the spices and sweetener.
Cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chayote becomes tender and takes on a translucent appearance.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice level according to preference.
Once done, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a dessert or a sweet side dish. Enjoy your Keto Classic Stewed Apples!
