Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add the granulated erythritol, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the bowl with the apples, and mix until the apple slices are evenly coated with the spices and sweetener.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
Drizzle the butter-vanilla mixture over the spiced apple slices, and toss to combine.
Spread the apple slices evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the edges are slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for a low-carb indulgence.
