Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) Granny Smith apples
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin, even slices.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced apples, erythritol sweetener, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Step 4
Let the apple mixture cook for about 5 minutes until the apples begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the xanthan gum with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the apple filling.
Step 6
Add the slurry to the saucepan along with the vanilla extract, and continue to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Adjust the sweetness or seasoning if needed by adding more erythritol or spices to your taste.
Step 8
Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly before using. Serve it warm, or store it in the refrigerator for later use, perfect as a topping for low-carb desserts or by itself.
