Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by peeling, coring, and grating the apples. Use a box grater or a food processor for quick results.
In a medium saucepan, combine the grated apples, water, granulated erythritol, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes, the apples should be soft and the mixture should be fragrant. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until well integrated.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk thoroughly to avoid any clumps. The syrup will start to thicken as it cools.
Let the syrup cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and all apple pieces are fully incorporated.
Pour the smooth syrup back into the saucepan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes over low heat to achieve the desired consistency.
Allow the syrup to cool before transferring it to a sterilized jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
