Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or another tart variety)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granular erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel the apples and remove the cores. Chop the apples into small cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped apples to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener, ground cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice over the apples. Stir well to combine.
Pour the water into the skillet and stir again. This will help create the sauce.
Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the sauce has thickened.
Mix in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm over your favorite low-carb pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
