Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or other preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the apples. Peel and core the apples, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the apple slices to the pan.
Sprinkle the cinnamon, erythritol, and salt over the apples. Stir gently to evenly coat the apple slices with the mixture.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the apples until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine, allowing the vanilla to enhance the aroma and flavor.
Remove the apple slices from the heat and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm as a delightful snack or low-carb dessert, optionally garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
