Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Erythritol Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Begin by peeling and coring the Granny Smith apples. Cut them into small chunks to ensure even cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple chunks, water, and lemon juice. Give it a quick stir to mix the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Allow the apples to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become soft and tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the apples are cooked through, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash them to your desired texture, whether chunky or smooth.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, powdered erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined.
Taste the applesauce and adjust the sweetness or spice level according to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow your keto applesauce to cool before serving.
Serve the applesauce warm or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
