- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and coring the Granny Smith apples. Once peeled, slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter covers the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Step 3
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Sprinkle monk fruit sweetener and ground cinnamon over the apples. Stir the mixture gently to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated.
Step 5
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender and the sweetener has melted, creating a syrupy glaze.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice, stirring to incorporate them into the mixture.
Step 7
Season with salt and give a final stir to distribute flavors evenly.
Step 8
Once the apples are fully cooked and tender, remove them from the heat.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or over keto-friendly pancakes or waffles for a special breakfast treat.
