Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Erythritol Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and coring the Granny Smith apples. Cut them into small chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple chunks, water, and lemon juice. Give it a quick stir to mix the ingredients.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Step 4
Allow the apples to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become soft and tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Once the apples are cooked through, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash them to your desired texture, whether chunky or smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the ground cinnamon, powdered erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined.
Step 7
Taste the applesauce and adjust the sweetness or spice level according to your preference.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow your keto applesauce to cool before serving.
Step 9
Serve the applesauce warm or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
