Keto apple pie without apples

Apples are not recommend on a keto diet due to high carbohydrate (fructose) content.

But since cauliflower can be rice and pizza crust, I thought zucchini can also become an "apple pie".

Zucchini are neutral in flavor, adding the write spices and lemon they can be taste like apples.

The crust for this "apple pie" is the one from "Keto Pasta Flora" recipe.

I just added some nutmeg and baked for about 10 minutes before filling the pie.

Instead of strips on this pie I just sprinkled 1/3 of the dough over the filling (crumble).

In Germany, this is how apple pies (Streuselkuchen) are usually be made.

Kohlrabi (turnip) doesn't soften as much as zucchini and you really think you are eating an apple (If you can't find Kohlrabi, there's an alternative below).

Keto Apple Pie Without Apples

Servings: 15

• Ingredients:

1 bunch / Crust of Keto Pasta Flora Pie

400 g / Zucchini

450 g / Kohlrabi *

3 Tbsp / Butter

50-80 g / Erythritol-stevia blend 1:1

2 Tbsp / Cinnamon

1 tsp / Grated nutmeg

Zest and juice of 1 organic lemon

1 tsp / Gelatin

¼ tsp / Guar gum

½ tsp / Psyllium Hask

1/4 tsp / Salt

•Instructions:

1 Peel the zucchini und Kohlrabi, and slice into small cubes.

2 Heat the butter in a pan and sauté the veggies.

3 Add the sweetener, spices, zest and lemon juice.

4 Let simmer for 5 minutes or more until the veggies are completely soft like a jam consistency.

5 Put the gelatin into 3 tbsp of water to bloom, heat in the microwave for only 2-3 and then stir to dissolve.

6 Mix guar gum, psyllium husk and salt and add to the veggie mixture, mixing quickly.

7 Add and stir in the gelatin.

You can also add some extra spices and lemon juice for more intense flavor.

8 Remove from heat and let the "veggie jam" cool until the crust for the apple pie is prepared.

9 Preheat the oven to 170°C.

10 Prepare the Keto Pasta Flora Pie crust following the instructions of the recipe and then spread 3/4 of the dough in a buttered baking pan (I use 18X28 cm baking pan but it can also be made in a round form of 28 cm).

11 Bake the crust for about 10 minutes.

12 Put the crust out of the oven and spread the veggie jam.

13 Rub the rest of the dough with your hands over the veggie jam.

14 Bake for about 30 min (if it browns quickly, you should cover the pie with aluminium foil).

After baking, let the dessert completely cool.

• Serve and enjoy!

*Note:

If turnip (Kohlrabi) is not available, you can replace it with the corresponding amount of peeled zucchini.
