Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small chunks.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, water, lemon juice, and granulated erythritol.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft.
Step 5
Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.
Step 7
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, process the mixture to your desired consistency. For a chunky texture, mash lightly; for a smoother sauce, blend thoroughly.
Step 8
Let the applesauce cool to room temperature. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
