W/W Cinnamon Apples

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia or Splenda) or use a sugar substitute like monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apples:
    Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. If you’re not using the apples immediately, you can toss them with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Heat the Pan:
    Place a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Add Apples:
    Add the sliced apples to the pan and stir gently.
  4. Add Spices:
    Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples. Stir to coat the apples evenly with the spices.
  5. Add Sweetener:
    Sprinkle the zero-calorie sweetener or sugar substitute over the apples and stir again.
  6. Add Water:
    Pour the water over the apples, which will help create a sauce as it cooks.
  7. Simmer:
    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the apples simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add a bit more water if needed.
  8. Taste and Adjust:
    Taste the apples and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference. You can add more sweetener or cinnamon if desired.
  9. Serve: Once the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove them from the heat.
  10. Enjoy
