Keto Zucchini Apple Crisp
I love good warm apple crisp, especially with a large scoop of Keto vanilla ice cream. This dessert is a great way to get micronutrients into your diet in a fun way. Diced apples are paired with plenty of diced zucchini to lower the carb count of this apple crisp. The apples and zucchini are tossed in cinnamon and sweetener then topped with a pecan crumble topping that is just so delicious! It is all baked to golden brown perfection in the oven. Serve it after it cools slightly with whipped cream or a dollop of low-carb ice cream.
How is the crumble topping made?
It is made by placing the pecans in a food processor. The processed pecans are then mixed with some melted butter, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. This makes for the best low-carb crumble topping that is to die for.
What is used to thicken the fruit mixture?
A little bit of xanthan gum is used to thicken the apple and zucchini mixture. It also helps the zucchini which tends to get watery.
What can I serve with Keto Zucchini Apple Crisp?
Serve this Keto Zucchini Apple Crisp with a hot coffee like Keto Butter Coffee with Heavy Whipping Cream https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/keto-butter-coffee-with-heavy-whipping-cream

This needs to be edited to a per portion ratio

I have made mock apple pie using only zucchini. It takes on the flavor of what ever it’s cooked with. So I would leave the apple out for less carbs.

What you can do to make it taste like an apple is up the lemon juice a little. I make mock apple pie all the time and no one knows the diffference (I cut the zucchini to also look like sliced apples)

Thank you for your suggestion, but thinking if zucchini is what the filling is it won't taste like a fruit pie. Due to not being allowed to eat berries, I can't add berries as the flavouring unfortunately, which would be a lower carb count.

This sounds really quite nice but hope someone looks into this & edits what the serves & calorie count etc should be.

This recipe clearly has more than one serving; 4 or 6 perhaps?

Why's is this here it's too high in carbs, you would literally have to eat like tbsp worth of this. Even half a serving is too much.

You may want to edit the amount of servings instead of the default “1”. Those calories scared me off.
