Ingredients
- 2 whole Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or other preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the apples. Peel and core the apples, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the apple slices to the pan.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cinnamon, erythritol, and salt over the apples. Stir gently to evenly coat the apple slices with the mixture.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the apples until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine, allowing the vanilla to enhance the aroma and flavor.
Step 7
Remove the apple slices from the heat and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve warm as a delightful snack or low-carb dessert, optionally garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
