Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or another tart variety)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granular erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the apples and remove the cores. Chop the apples into small cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped apples to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Step 4
Sprinkle the erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener, ground cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice over the apples. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Pour the water into the skillet and stir again. This will help create the sauce.
Step 6
Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Mix in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm over your favorite low-carb pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
