Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the lemon juice and water to the apples, and stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover.
Let the apples simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and start breaking down.
Remove the lid and stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and granulated erythritol.
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens slightly and the apples have fully softened.
Remove from heat and allow the Compote de Pommes to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or cold, as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
