Keto ‘Apple’ Crisp

WOW!  Just WOW!

This Keto ‘Apple’ Crisp is amazing – you will never know there are no apples in it.

It was so good, I can’t wait to make it again!

It is made with sliced zucchini soaked in spiced apple tea with a grain free crisp topping.

This is totally dairy, grain, and nut free, but if you do consume dairy, you can sub butter for the coconut oil.

I used about 2 lbs of zucchini peeled and sliced.  Small zucchini is better than large since there are few of small seeds.

make the apple tea and steep for 5-10 minutes, then boil the zucchini in the tea for 10 minutes.  This cooks the zucchini as well as eliminating the ‘sweat’ during the baking process.

strain the cooked zucchini to remove all the liquid.

Place cooked zucchini in a bowl and add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Place the mixture in a pie plate or an 8 X 8 inch pan.

Mix up the crisp topping and top zucchini with it.

 

Bake and top with Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream
