Ingredients
Keto apple crisp filling
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 7 cups chayote squash chopped to small cubes
- 2 tablespoon water you can add more if needed
- 2 teaspoons stevia or other keto sweeteners
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon apple extract
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Keto topping
- 1/2 cup almonds chopped
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 ½ teaspoons stevia
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F/180°C and greasing your baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, then add the cubes of chayote and the water. Using medium-low heat, allow the ingredients to simmer for 8 minutes. The squash should be tender when tested with a fork. Continue simmering for another 3 minutes.
- Remove the chayote squash filling from the saucepan, transferring it to a lined baking dish. Let it bake for 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, you’ll be getting the topping ready.
- Add the chopped almonds, flour, coconut, oil and stevia to a mixing bowl and stir. Remove the filling from the oven and top with the chopped almond mixture. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Allow your apple crisp to cool for 10 minutes before you serve it.
