Ingredients

• 2 cups apples or 3 medium size apples

• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

1. Peel, core and dice apples into bite size pieces. 
2. Then place cored, peeled, diced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice.
3. Add diced apples, water, sugar substitute, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a medium saucepan.
4. Stir to combine then bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir often.
5. Once it starts to boil, let it boil for a full two minutes. (this will thicken the sauce)
6. Cover and simmer. Stir often, until apples soften, about 5 minutes.
7. Use immediately for your recipe, or store in an air tight container or mason jar with sealed lid in the refrigerate for 5-7 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
8. This makes for the perfect topping for:pancakes, oatmeal, waffles, toast, or use the filling to make either of these recipes: Apple Pie Wontons or Easy Low Point Apple Crisp!
