Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe contributed by Plan Z dieter Amy.
Servings: Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 2 apples, chopped – I left skins on
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tsp apple pie spice
- 3 pkts Truvia
- 3 Tbl fruit pectin
*Ingredients to make your own apple pie spice:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions:
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over med-high heat. Boil for 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit and cool to thicken before eating.
Special note:
We have never worked with fruit pectin in this diet. Amy came up with the idea to try it. Brilliant idea! I checked the carb content and approved it. This opens up a whole new world of opportunity for thickening.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
Cranberry Sauce “Zolafied”
Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

Turkey Tips
Many people think the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is the most intimidating meal to make. It's not. Here's some rules to follow.
Tried this. Thinking you might be able to go a little lighter on the water… mine stayed pretty unthickened, but the juice from the apples added a lot of liquid over the heating process. Either way, it absolutely fixed my craving for apple pie!
Love your comment! thank you! I often adjust other people’s recipes to suit my tastes too. Coming down on water was a good one.
If you dove into the apples while they were still warm that might be a reason they were soupy. the pectin doesn’t do its magic until it’s almost cooled.
