Ingredients

• 4 pieces medium low-carb apples (such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges that are about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the water, lemon juice, and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter has melted.

Step 3

Add the prepared apple slices to the pan and stir to coat with the butter mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Stir well to ensure the apples are evenly coated with spices and sweetener.

Step 5

Cover the saucepan and let the apples cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the apples to start softening and absorbing the spices.

Step 6

Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium-high, and continue to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Stir the apples often to prevent them from sticking, and cook until they are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Allow the stewed apples to cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of low-carb ice cream.
