Keto Apple Crisp is a low-carb twist on the traditional apple crisp, using chayote squash and zucchini instead of apples to keep the carb count low. Sweetened with a blend of natural sweeteners and topped with a crunchy almond flour topping, this dessert offers all the comforting flavors of fall without the guilt.

Ingredients

  • For the filling:

    • 1½ cups peeled and chopped apples (approximately 1 medium apple)

    • 2½ cups chopped zucchini or summer squash, peeled if desired

    • ½ cup Lakanto golden sweetener

    • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

    • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum

    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • For the topping:

    • 5 tablespoons butter, melted

    • 1 cup almond flour

    • 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder

    • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

    • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

    • ⅓ cup Lakanto golden sweetener

    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon maple extract (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

  • Prepare the filling:

    • In a deep pot or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped chayote squash and water. Cover and let simmer for 7–8 minutes or until tender.

    • Once tender, add the rest of the filling ingredients and mix well. Continue to simmer for another 3 minutes.

  • Bake the filling:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the filling mixture into a prepared baking dish and bake for 8–10 minutes.

  • Prepare the topping:

    • In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, hemp seeds, chopped walnuts, sweetener, salt, cinnamon, and maple extract.

  • Assemble and bake:

    • Remove the baking dish from the oven, sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling, and return to the oven. Bake for another 10–15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

  • Cool and serve:

    • Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
