Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Granulated erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small pieces.
Step 2
Place the diced apples into a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Add lemon juice, granulated erythritol, ground cinnamon, water, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan with the apples. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan with a lid.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the apples are soft and can be easily mashed with a spoon.
Step 6
Stir occasionally, making sure the apples do not stick to the bottom of the pan. If the mixture gets too thick, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time.
Step 7
Once the apples are fully cooked, remove the pan from heat. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to blend the apples to your desired sauce consistency.
Step 8
Taste the applesauce and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level to your liking if necessary.
Step 9
Let the applesauce cool before transferring it to a serving bowl or an airtight container.
Step 10
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer-term storage.
