In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and water, stirring until smooth.
Add the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and granulated sweetener to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning or sweetness if necessary. You can add more sweetener for a sweeter sauce or a pinch more chili powder for extra heat.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.
Store the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use, as some separation may occur.
