Notes

The below nutrition is based on using the brand ingredients we used and on using 1 1/2 tablespoons of allulose

Do not heat on high, that will cause the water to evaporate before the "apples" can soften.

You can substitute any keto friendly granular sweetener for the allulose. If using something other than allulose, taste the mixture for sweetness before adding liquid sweeteners.

If you do not have sauce after softening, you can add a little water to the mixture.
