How to make the almond flour crust:
You’ll want to blend all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl. Then pour out the bowl and mix until it a dough-like consistency is achieved.
Press the dough evenly into a pie pan.
Bake for about 10 minutes in a 325 degree F oven, covering the edges with aluminum foil. Set aside as the filling is made.
How to make the zucchini pie filling:
Here’s the fun part! We’re going to transform zucchini into apple-tasting-goodness!!
Add all filling ingredients into a pot and heat over medium. Mix well.
Once all the ingredients are well combined and cooked for about 5-7 minutes, pour into prepared crust. Easy enough, right?!
How to make the crumble topping:
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until a crumble consistency is achieved.
Spread over pie.
It may sound like a few steps, but this keto apple pie crumble is super quick to make and always a crowd pleaser!
Does this really taste like apple crisp?
Yes! It’s pretty crazy to think about, but the zucchini is slightly sweet and takes on the flavor from the sweetener and spices! We had friends that had no clue they were eating anything other than apples!
Do I have to peel the zucchini?
Yes, you’ll want to peel the zucchini for a couple of reasons. The texture is going to be better and more like an apple peeled. The other reason is if you don’t peel them, they’ll show up dark green in your crumble, and it won’t look like apples.
How can I thicken this up?
If you notice your zucchini is letting off too much liquid, you can drain it before adding the crumble topping or sprinkle in about 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum over the filling and mix well.
What can you pair this keto apple pie crumble with?
We love to pair it warmed with a keto ice cream like Enlightened or Rebel Creamery! It’s also really great on its own. You could also do heavy whipping cream if you wanted!
How many carbs are in this keto apple pie crumble?
There are 8 net carbs for a big portion of our keto apple pie crumble! In contrast, a traditional apple pie could pack over 50 grams per serving!!
