Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 chayote squashes, peeled and sliced
  2. 1/4 cup erythritol
  3. 1 tsp cinnamon
  4. 1/2 cup almond flour
  5. 1/4 cup butter, melted
  6. 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Keto Apple Crumble Chayote Squash bakes evenly and achieves a nice golden color.
  2. Prepare the chayote squashes by peeling them. After peeling, slice them into thin, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chayote squashes with 1/4 cup of erythritol and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the mixture until the chayote is well coated with the sweetener and spice.
  4. Transfer the chayote mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This will be the base layer of your crumble.
  5. In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Combine 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (if using). Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly texture.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the chayote mixture in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the chayote slices completely for a delicious, crunchy topping.
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chayote is tender.
  8. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  9. Serve warm, and enjoy your Keto Apple Crumble Chayote Squash as a delightful low-carb dessert or snack!

Tips

  1. Choose firm, fresh chayote squashes for the best texture and flavor.
  2. Pat the chayote slices dry before mixing with sweetener to prevent excess moisture.
  3. Use a high-quality almond flour for the crumble to ensure a crispy, golden topping.
  4. For extra crunch, toast your chopped nuts before adding them to the crumble mixture.
  5. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the erythritol to taste.
  6. Let the crumble rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
