Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Gala)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened apple juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (such as stevia or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Wash and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges, leaving the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch until smooth. Set this slurry aside for thickening later.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the apple slices to the skillet and pour in the unsweetened apple juice and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the apples.
Step 5
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar substitute evenly over the apples.
Step 6
Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but not mushy and the juices start to release.
Step 7
Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir and pour it into the skillet. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the apples evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or yogurt.
