Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small chunks.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, water, lemon juice, and granulated erythritol.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, process the mixture to your desired consistency. For a chunky texture, mash lightly; for a smoother sauce, blend thoroughly.
Let the applesauce cool to room temperature. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
