Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tablespoon Powdered gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling, coring, and finely chopping the Granny Smith apples. The small pieces will help the apples break down more easily during the cooking process.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and water. Stir well and set over medium heat.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very tender.
Step 4
Using a potato masher or the back of a large spoon, mash the apples until they reach your desired consistency. For a smoother jam, you can use an immersion blender.
Step 5
Stir in the erythritol (or your chosen sugar-free sweetener), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the apple mixture and mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved and well incorporated.
Step 7
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Step 8
Once thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat. Let the jam cool slightly.
Step 9
Transfer the apple jam into sterilized jars. Allow them to reach room temperature before sealing and storing them in the refrigerator.
Step 10
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your low-carb apple jam on toast, as a topping for yogurt, or in any of your favorite low-carb recipes!
