Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and core the Granny Smith apples, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and erythritol sweetener over the apples, and stir until the apples are evenly coated.
Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water to the skillet, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Remove the lid and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce if necessary.
Serve warm as a low-carb dessert or a topping for yogurt or pancakes.
